Been away for awhile... but I'm back with a C63 BS!!!
Hey guys,
Used to be around MBWORLD before when I had a C55. Just closed the deal on a slightly used C63 BS. Hopefully will be in my garage mid month. I actually wanted one 4 months ago, but was told there were none, and the few available in the nation - all were asking 10k-15k markup. So being an Audi guy, I ordered an S8 (I know, very different car but still amazing). Saw this ad and have been working out the deal and finally got it done.
It's got:
3.7k Miles
Matte Black Paint (Was on the fence about it, but I like the no nonsense look of it)
Aerodynamic Package (I'm one of the few that likes the wing - just my taste)
Matte Black Wheels
AMG Performance Media
Exterior Carbon Fiber Package
And I guess an engine signed by Mario Andretti (Seems like first owner was his neighbor is what I've been told).
Anyways, I'm real excited.. hopefully it will be in my garage mid January!

Welcome back to the forum.. A big come back I must say!! Lol
Love the color.. Makes the car so aggressive. Do u mind sharing if u paid over or under msrp? Just curious to know if the market is dropping yet on these cars.

Thanks guys!! I'd rather talk about it offline - finishing the details (paying full on cash vs financing) right now and I promised the salesperson I would not reveal until after everything is completed and the car is in my possession. It's not the price advertised however.

blah, blah, blah bla, I dont know why but I never liked when people dont want to reveal the price how much they paid or even such detail if it was over or under msrp.. I mean why? I always said how much I paid for the cars I bought, its somethimg I would like other fellow buyers to know because it helps them. I would understand if it was something unique or something like that but not when its just about a random sports car. Okay not really random but still its not THAT unrandom:-) anyways otherwise good luck with your new car and I wish you all the best with it in 2013.

Congrats, great car.
And dude, he clearly says he committed he wouldn't share the price until the deal is done. For whatever reason, that's his choice to make. Considering the deal isn't even done yet, frankly I don't blame him, commitment or no commitment.

They do not hold up at all, they are great for the track but plan on replacing after a full day on a road course. There is an entire thread over on PL regarding the tire wear on track.

Congrats on the grab! It's been my favorite AMG, so far, and I suspect you're going to have a blast!
Welcome back to AMG, and welcome to the C63BS club.
We have cookies.Been eyeballing this one at Expo MC since it popped up on the market. Definitely a mean looking specimen, and a nice catch!
Not sure if you've handled matte paint before, but these guys are awesome: http://www.drbeasleys.com/shop/car-c...-car-care.html
Oh! And, yay! Another C63BS in NorCal. We definitely should do a meet + photoshoot + drive, at some point this year.

Funny, when I started my hunt for a C63BS, I was originally completely opposed to the matte color options. However, after seeing it in person, I am definitely a convert.
I especially dig the SLS in matte grey (and am torn between Mystic White and Magno Allanite Grey for the SLS BS).

I'm also planing on taking my C63BS to the track, do you have a link to the PL thread I will like to read about the tire wear on the track.
Thank you

Thanks guys for the welcome and great pointers so far! Like I mentioned earlier, the deal is not yet complete... so there still could be some pitfalls that may deep six the deal. I don't foresee it happening, but I've bought enough cars to know that sometimes things just fall through.
I do fully expect it to come and I'm incredibly excited to be involved with such a great group of enthusiasts and a small community of black series drivers. I hope I can provide some knowledge in the future.
A few questions:
1. I'm reasonably mechanically inclined (installed big brake kits, swapped turbos, and coilovers on my Audi), can I change the ride height of the car? Or is this not a possibility.
2. How do the brakes hold up to track days?
3. Where is this PL that you guys speak of?
Thanks again!

2. I've heard the stock brakes hold up decently. I imagine the BS would be even better.
3. It's the AMG sponsored community for owners only. They also have periodic giveaways. I have gotten decals, a massive calendar, and a Formula1 mouse pad in the last couple of months. You just need a VIN to register.

Agreed. And MB has some of the best and most durable matte paints on the market, as I understand it.
Funny, when I started my hunt for a C63BS, I was originally completely opposed to the matte color options. However, after seeing it in person, I am definitely a convert. I especially dig the SLS in matte grey (and am torn between Mystic White and Magno Allanite Grey for the SLS BS).
