Am I missing something here for wheels, a black series hood and a conservative tune $170k seems a bit much!?

Could any Austrailian folks please chime in, is this competitively priced?

I believe a base sedan in Australia is 132,800 and in US it is 59,800. I know there may not be a direct relationship because of various taxes, but that puts a US 507 sedan right around 76,300 and that may not include the lighting package lol

Pertplus,

For Austrailians it will in fact cost 170k however we US folks are very fortunate that it cost us about 60% less

Here is the Australian car configuration website http://www.driveaway.mercedes-benz.com.au/

You're forgetting that they are WAY more expensive over there than in the states. http://www.carsales.com.au/car/mercedes/c63/

I'm guessing it'll be around 75-80k USD when it arrives in the states.

75-80K would be a steal.

True...my point was that spending $170k in Australian dollars is basically the same as in US dollars. Point well taken though, obviously this car wont be $170k in the US...but it's not as if the exchange rate would make it beneficial to travel to Australia and buy a car using American dollars. That was my point.

Those numbers are just crazy, makes me wonder what the true cost to build the car is and what their margins are. Seems like MB is making all their money from ex-US sales.

The pricing is pretty "reasonable" in comparison to standard (non-PP) C63 which on the road with a few options would be in the order of $160-170k.

It will be interesting to see what the options list might be on the Edition 507. The $170k price may not include all on road cost so you might be looking towards $180k.

Be very lucky that you live in the States. Other countries have ridiculous tariffs . It makes what we think are "economy" cars seem like premiums cars in other countries.

I wonder how much the matte paint option will be in Australia? I'm still deciding on whether to go for it or not if I do end up trading in for a 507 at the end of the year.

Also am itching to find more news on the replacement C63. The new E Class coupe looks stunning.

That was my point. The prices for imported products in Australia drive the prices insanely high.

List price in 2012 for a C63 sedan was $154900 with the Performance Pack adding another $14900.
To this would have to add "on road costs" including "dealer delivery charge"/rego/CTP and Stamp Duty.
This would suggest - although not to our US friends - the 507 Edition is good value ie a tiny bit cheaper than the old PP with a few extra goodies.

Yeh that is the sticker price for the car I bought! Got the price down obviously but still more than double what USA guys pay. A base model AMG here C63 costs as much as an SL63 in the states. I was in LA recently and went to MB dealer to look at prices... 'Shocked' is an understatement at how I felt.

damn you guys!
