I’m pleased to announce my next step to becoming an AMG owner. My dealer and I have been discussing thepossibility of my purchasing an Edition 507 for the past three weeks – last weekhe notified me that the dealership had a 507 in the pipeline and if I put downmy deposit, I would be the owner of this car. The one thing I was weary on is the fact that official US pricing hasnot been announced. Sunday May 5th– I found a Motor Trend article online that said they estimate they’ll startaround the low $70k mark, which stays within my price range. So yesterday I pulled the trigger and putdown my deposit. I now have to selectoptions and notify my dealer so they can get crackin’ on the build. Expected delivery is July/August.

I am wondering if I should order a 507 in a designo color or pick up a 2012 E63

Well you know what my vote would be

Congrats, depending on how business goes I would love to upgrade to a 507 or black series.

Fantastic!! 3 Months! thats fast !!

What price and standard equipment does the 507 have compared to normal?

irablumberg

Very nice option list. However, unless your dealer is giving a substantial discount off sticker, you will have trouble keeping this build under $80K.

Same car here is $195k

You want a copy of my quote? Give me an email address and I will send it to you to post as I don't know how to do that. I am an old man!

CoolBDPhenom03

I'm just messing with you, man. How exciting! Keep us posted on the build. Did they give you a tentative date yet?

Harold1898

I have not yet committed to it as I am torn between going the 507 route or waiting for the new model. I have a 2012 sedan with 9000 kms on it and have been offered $115k for it as a trade. Going to another dealer tomorrow to validate the pricing, then I have to make up my mind which way to go. What do you think?

CoolBDPhenom03

I'm a big fan of the n/a engines so I'd lean toward the 507. It'll be a special model.

As far as the trade-in value, I'm going to need help with the math/conversion. What did you originally pay, or what was the msrp? Options?

Harold1898

You know I can't exactly remember, it was circa $165k. Pretty basic car with a handful of options. I am not too worried re the loss as it is simply a figure in the books of a national company that I own.

Char_AMG

The 507 in USA will come with which colors?

Harold1898

Sorry mate but I don't know as I am in Sydney. Over here we have the choice of five (I think). I have been quoted on obsidian black with the black designo leather.
