Hey guys,
I am in a bit of pickle, I have been sufing this board for a while & I have seen many great comments from members all across.
I just started my new Job with Mercedes-Benz head office & we have great employee incentive Lease options however no deal on AMG's.
I consider myself a Car enthusiast & all my past cars have been on the performance side S2000, S4, TL-S and others..

Now here's the dilemma I am able to get Benz's relatively cheap obvious lower employee payment benifit is it includes Insurance, maintenance and everything included plus I drive it for 10000kms and get in a new one..So basically I can switch to any other MB within 3-4 months. Which allows me to have a convertible for summer and a GL350 Bluetec for the winter, Hence I am always in a car with a Brand new car smell. This option allows me to invest $50k elsewhere

OR

Buy A 2010 - 2011 C63 pay the full retail + Insurance + maintenance etc block $50k in a car and live with depriciation...
On the positive note I'll own my car + mod it the way I want + AMG

What would you guys do??

Buy the C63 AMG & mod it the way u want no doubt.. Go test drive one & u won't go back in the E-vert although it is nice to drive a new car every 4-6 months.

Drive the E vert for the summer and the GL for the winter then pick up a C63 for less money next year when they have depreciated more and we know what the new one is expecting in terms of performance and specifications! Save your money for mods in a years time.... $600/month on a Eclass is a good deal!

Yeah don't get the c63, doesn't make a sense

Yes working here @ MB, I already drove C63, CLS63 & the SLS. Fell in love with the 63 drone. But I am in Toronto, not far from you so given our winter months car scene is almost a write off half the year.

lol yes its my Practical side of my brain VS the side infected by the mod bug. I miss having my S4 done the way I wanted I always gave it a second look while walking away, meanwhile Now I am driving a brand new E coupe LEASE and I dont even care to wash it in the winter.

Few members on the forum in TO drives their C63 in winter months.. Mild winter u guys have down there, Ottawa winter is brutal.. The snow bank in my front yard is still 4 feet high. Lol

No matter which car u choose, join us in Kingston in June 1 for the meet.

Given the same choice I would take the lease option on the other cars, headache free, and save up on the side to get a C63 when it depreciates a bit more and use the extra money saved for mods.

Thanks for the input guys, but a 2010 C63 with 45-50kms can be had for around $45k. I doubt they are going to depreciate alot more in the next few years.

Get the 4.6 TT E, tune it for 2k and call it a day. The all wheel drive can handle a lot of TQ. Probably launch better than the C63. If you get the C63, get the limited slip.
