2009 C63 AMG

Bought my first Merc!

Hi everyone!
I've been lurking for a bit, but I finally was able to pull the trigger on my first mercedes today, CPO Palladium Silver 2009 C63 AMG with 28000 miles. Needless to say I am insanely happy. This car is hysterical.

I was only able to get one decent photo today as the sun was pretty much down when I got it home. I will take some more tomorrow.

And just for fun, this is the car I traded for it.

Loved my subaru to death, but the merc blows it away in pretty much every aspect.

Welcome to AMG. You will love your C63 and Palladium is a great color on the C63. Enjoy!

Well done on the STI, looks mean.

Welcome

Much appreciated, that's one of the reasons I wanted to get rid of it, getting tired of being associated with those guys haha

You must have been purpleheartsti on nasioc, I recognize your name. Small world! I actually looked for a 996 turbo for a while, but finally jumped on this. Thanks!

I just love that it looks like a civilized normal-ish 4 door sedan, but it has a really juvenile engine. It's fantastic!

Pics later this afternoon!

Very nice, had a chance to drive my friends Stage 3 STI in the canyons & it was VERY fun, endless grip lol. Enjoy the C63 for a while & then slap a tune on it, you won't regret it

There's a cure for that. It's called a Porsche 911.

A 911 may be in my future, not for a good long while though haha.
Finally managed to get a couple quick photos. Meant to get out for a proper photo shoot but it looks like it's gunna rain here pretty quick. Soon though!
