Confused which which to buy. C63 507 Sedan/Coupe

Hi all!

I am currently stuck between choosing a brand new 507 Coupe that could be delivered this Spring or go with a 507 Sedan right now. The Sedan is a demo at the dealership and already has 5000 KM's on it.

With the Sedan, I will save $5500 instantly.

I will most likely be leasing it so with the Sedan, I will also save 159.7 per month over the course of 2 years.

My question is, is a $5500 discount too little for a demo car with 5000KM's on it?

What are some possible maintenance issues or parts replacement that may arise after 5000KM's in a C63?

Regards.

Id take the demo. I think the sedan looks better and being a demo doesn't void warranty.

Just check the rear tires and make sure they're not smoked....


Demo's carry full warranty so you are covered and if you're only leasing it for 2 years you really don't have much to worry about...I would chisel them on the price since the 15's are coming fast

I wouldn't buy any of them. The C63 is getting outdated. Wait for 2014, a plenty of new cars are coming (new C63, F-Type Coupe, new M3/M4 etc).

I'd just wait few more months and see what's up but it's completely up to you.

Hello,

I asked my dealer regarding the purchase of a 2015 model. If I get my order for one in today, the estimated delivery time will be spring of 2015.

That's a year I can't wait

I'm guessing I'll go with the Sedan, as I too like it better aesthetically.

Thank you all for your help!

My choice would be simple : the sedan.
It's more practical as it has 4 doors. The car is already available.
Just make sure that everything checks out and you are good to go

I'd go with the sedan as well. Personal preference. I love the way the sedan looks compared to the coupe

Are the 2015 models really coming that fast?

We haven't heard jack about them from MB AMG yet.

BMW was releasing little tidbits about the M3 (transcripts from interviews, teaser shots, teaser videos, etc.) until its debut.

All we've seen thus far regarding the 2015 C-Class AMG are unofficial spy shots.

Hell, we don't even know what it is going to be called.

The black series only comes in a coupe. So getting a 507 coupe puts you one step below the top of the line. However a 507 sedan is the top of the line for sedans. I'd go with that one.

Edition 507

Good morning. As a current 2014 C63 AMG Edition 507, based on my three months of ownership, I'd say the sedan is pretty. Even if it is a "DEMO" the warranty still applies especially for the length of time you intend to keep it. That 507 is a beast you will truly enjoy. It is probably one of the last "old school" naturally aspirated engines, we will have in a l-o-n-g time before it gets re-introduced again. Also Good luck!

I had a sedan and now I have a coupe. IMO, the coupe is much nicer. My wife hates it, as it is not as practical.

I will not attempt to address the looks of each, but having had both sedan and coupe, I have noticed a couple of little things such as:
- the fixed-headrest seats in the sedan look cooler IMHO...more racy like Porsche sport seats rather than luxury seats
- if you put a briefcase behind your seat every day (as I do), the coupe only requires you to open one door, which is nice
- if you park in tight spaces, the coupe door seems pretty long and makes the spaces feel even tighter
- the coupe 2+2 rear seat looks pretty cool, but the ideal IMHO is to get the functionality of a sedan but with two-tone leather to approximate the rear "buckets" look

Blah, blah, blah....

Oh yeah, the sedan sunroof is smaller, lighter (I think), and opens in a way that is more aesthetically pleasing...i.e., the coupe roofline is attractive, but not with the sunroof open. Just my $0.02.

Had a sedan, now a coupe.

Sedan is roomier, more practical. Coupe gets more attention and admiration. It's all preference and what you need in your every day life. I never have many passengers, so a coupe was ideal for me.

In my opinion I would say it depends on some factors that you should ask yourself. Do you drive with more than one other friend often? It's more convenient having a sedan if you do. Other wise the back of the seats will get scuffed from friends getting in and out of the coupe. Which profile do you personally like better? I like the look of the sedan personally and I like my passengers having their own doors. In the end, both choices are great and I think you will really be happy with the car.

Get the Coupe it looks 2X better IMO. Sedans are cool if your old and have kids. Also why would you buy a new C63 when the body style is about to change? I would pick up a 2 year used one with low miles. And it still has some warranty left..

New C63 won't be out for about 1.5-2 years in the States.

Leasing a W204 for 24-36 months is very attractive.

You'll just be coming out of the lease when the prices are stabilizing on the W205 AMG.

I vote for coupe! Although I saw a white 507 sedan and it looked damn fine! But I prefer the lines of the coupe

You are not bias, you are spot on. The coupe flows better and I hate the extra lines of the back door. Coupe looks more aggressive. I am not bias as I own a 4 door C350 cdi as well. That said happy to purchase either. If you have passengers for the back don't get the coupe
