Very nice. We should all do a group buy and see if we can bring that price down a bit.

Now with a car like this you have to do some track!
They listed it on consignment for $108,500 and when I called to inquire about the car the salesman had been negotiating the price with another buyer for weeks and was getting really close to the sellers number, they were off by $1,500 of one another. He told me the first one to $103,000 gets it, I said I'll be there in a couple of days

The previous owner said he paid $149,000 for the car

You had a good deal I think.
149k$ for not even the aero package was too much!
Now enjoy it but be careful with the speeding tickets! lol

Congrats on the car! Previous owner was definately exaggerating, no CF, no Perf Media, no Aero pack, there's no way that car sold for $149k!

Congrats on the car. Looks amazing. I see you're in Parkland. My BS is in Orlando. I'll be in the country hopefully this summer, so we should set up a cruise for local MB owners.

Congrats on the car!!!!!!

I'm also gonna be going through SC, NC, and Virginia on my way to NY... I hope I'm not getting any ticket... I think in SC or NC above 80 is considered reckless driving... I'm gonna be traveling with 2 radar detectors turned on at the same time. 9500ix + Valentine One. Crossing my fingers lol

I grew up in SC, those small town cops don't screw around. And Troopers used to roll in Camaro SS's.

Welcome to the club, indeed! It's a small club, but we love our C63 BS's!

Heh, I got this car for me as my daily.

Still, I'd have been impressed if it remained her daily. But, alas, she disappoints me and is now driving a Land Rover.

Nice grab! For a one option car, that's a pretty solid price!

I believe it, honestly. When I was hunting, there were numerous dealers asking $10k - $50k (yes, one was listing theirs at $50k) over MSRP. I have no doubt that a few dealers got close to or what they were asking for.

Don't forget that radar detectors are illegal in VA and MD.

Thanks for the kind words guys

Hyperion: I picked it up at Land Rover of Cape Fear in Wilmington.

Guilty: Just a heads up. They were pulsing when they nabbed me, my V1 was useless. The cop even told me he mastered it.

I just drove back from Florida to ny in my 2014 cayenne turbo s.
NC SC and VA ARE loaded with radar traps... They hide in the wooded sections of the median in only authorized vehicle crossings. And yes my detector often did not go off until they first pinged me so the troopers no longer keep their equipment on on the time. I sneaked through several traps by always staying on 9 mph over any posted limit. Seems to work.
