I love the power of this car but without getting into the internals , it's not going to get any faster . definitely looking into other options

If only I was back in Hell Paso and didn't have a 507 on order... If it it were me I'd keep it and buy a 5-door hatchback to use as a family car. Ford Focus or similar. Drop the annual miles on the C63 to save on insurance.

Of course in Hell Paso you could always go to the Wal-Mart in the valley off of 10 and leave it unlocked for about 2 hours. Claim insurance money cause it'll be in Juarez by the time you get back.

In addition, this car has been repainted which further reduces its appeal.

I agree with everyone who recommends parting it out first and then selling it n stock configuration.
I completely agree with this. Anything beyond wheels and tires is harder to sell, and even that can make it tough. I'm not trying to be discouraging, just stating a fact. It reduces the market appeal by about 90% to have the car painted alone. I worked in that business a lifetime ago and even in trade we wouldn't give more than 20% below wholesale for a car modded that heavily, no matter how nice the mods were. They're just too hard to sell. Sounds like a damn nice car, but don't kid yourself and think your mods are worth anything extra in resale except to a very, very tiny market. Speaking only from a business sense, you'll have way better luck selling the mods separately and returning it to stock. Good luck with the sale!

I think 45,000 is all you will get out of it.

I have seen builds that are into to 6 figures get sold for 1/3 of the price including the cost of the vehicle. When you go that deep you always lose your shirt.

people , people.....I know that i'm not going to get my money back for all the mods . I have been doing it for a long time but I can promise you , from a long history of customizing cars , that I can get more than car value . I know it's limited market but there are plenty of people out there that would love to have this car at a fraction of the cost for doing this new .

I see you know the area

my other half has a Mazda 6 and I have an Explorer Sport so the daily driver issue is covered . as far as dropping the annual miles....i'm thinking 13,500 miles on this '09 is going to be hard to lower any more . it's only driven once a month

~$50k?

I've been looking into a C63, possibly modded, keep me updated. Not sure what route to go, but I certainly need more speed than stock, but a warranty would be nice. That Weismann trans is rated up to 1000hp right? How's she drive around town when light on throttle?

Currently driving a modded 2003 RS6 with 425/450 at the wheels. Problem is trans can't handle much more. Awesome all season car with Quattro.

Cheers!

Luckily know a local shop, repainted panels on the Audi, as good as OEM. Depends on the color too, some is double the cost and takes more time. Quoted $4,500 for the blue, said red would be $6,500, something like that...

I resprayed my whole CL63 but the roof, by supposedly one of the best body shops in Miami but I was disappointed. Paint chips very easily. Nothing equals the nano OEM paint.

Have you considered a clear bra? That should help with the chips and is relatively unnoticeable if you get the whole car done. I'd assume the price would be about similar to that of repainting the whole car.

if the deal to buy the car would go as fast as the quote for shipping my parts that you offered , it would be easier to keep the disgusting car

Bro, you only drive your car once a month? Wow, just when I thought my car was a queen garage as my sunday car.
