After swearing off MB for most of the last decade, an old member is back

Well since my last MB (2003 E55) left a sour taste, I have been an Audi and Porsche convert. Well, fast forward to yesterday when I sold my Cayman S TPC Turbo car and bought a 2012 C63. Was originally looking at CL600 and CL63, then I test drove a used C63 Coupe. Well the rest is history. The sound, the feel, the brakes, etc. I always loved the look of the CL, and despite driving a Renntech CL600 with over 600hp, it was still a heavy big car, and coming from a Cayman S, the C63 was a much better fit. Only question is why didn't the original owner get Xenons?????

Great looking ride.

I've enjoyed it for the last year but time to move on

Car has 24,000 miles and is now up for sale. No problems, runs perfect, body and paint perfect, tires have 4000 miles on them. Sticker was right around $70,000. Eurocharged. Also have extra set of Stance SC-5 rims for it. In-service date was 2/1/12. Always garaged and hand washed while I owned it.

Price is $50,000 firm with hand held and extra rims. I will be taking some new pics in a few days after I get a chance to wash it.
