What dealer? I'm in Michigan, and the dealer nearest me is a joke. MB needs to do some quality control with their dealer network. I will never buy another car from this place ever again, and CHicago is only a couple of hours away.

C63
Hey guys,
New update !
So I called WF again and asked to talk to the "underwriter" (I believe thats how they call her) this time directly.
The guy on the phone told me it was not possible, so I told him to tell her "either she learns math 101, either I remove all my money this afternoon and will make sure to mention why".
Next thing I know, I get a "new offer after reviewing my direct deposits" :
- 40099$
- 2.85%
- 48 months
So I'm gonna jump on it, up my down deposit to 30k and get the car this weekend

Considering interest rates are on the rise and that a bank, not a cu, that's a pretty good rate. Congrats and make sure that baby is insured to the hilt. SF can be nuts.
Let us know when you pick her up!

PS: any idea what are the 3 buttons under the rear view mirror used for ?

S550 on order
Hi folks!
I've been cruising this forum for quite some time now and I've finally registered.
I decided to make the jump and (I thought) buy a C63 AMG this month.
I found a sedan loaded without the carbon fiber trim and parktronic in my area.
Went to the dealership, test drove it and immediately got sold
But unfortunately it didn't go as expected.
I'm 27 years old, with "250$" debt which is a single credit line opened for about 1 year and half.
Income is 140k per year and I rent for 500$ every month. No mortgages, no debts and I thought a great income/debt ratio would have given me access to great rates...
I got "offered" by MB (or the dealer?) the following for a new 2013 C63 with 50 miles on it:
MSRP = $ 81,975
Price negotiated = $75,417
Down payment required: $40,000
Rate = 6.99%
with $849 payments for 60 months.
No need to say, I got pretty shocked. The story I got was that I was a first time buyer (I am indeed) and so Mercedes would not let me buy a C63 unless I put half the price of the car in down payment (I can, but I just refuse to do so).
What do you guys think ? I'm gonna go to Wells Fargo this week to see what they can get me. I'm hoping to get a significant loan (aiming between 60-70k) at a good rate but we shall see. I also registered at Penfed and will apply if I can't get anything with WF.
I had been waiting for a long time to pull the trigger and boy it ruined my Sunday!
Thanks for any advice you guys have, I'm a huge fan of this community.

Why spend 81k on a car that will be 45k in 3-4 years? I make ok money (mid 6 figures) and I'd never buy a car brand new..I can easily afford it but from a finanical stand point it's kinda like pissing money away especially seeing cars lose vaule so much..I'm happy with my 09 C63..I could have bought a 2013 but there goes 50% of it's value in less then 4 years. Just my 2 cents.
Is the car worth it? Hell yeah, But maybe try and find a badass used one with low KMs @ a good price.
