Talking Had to sell my beloved C63 but.....

Got another one Traded in my older one yesterday and came home in a 2013 with 6000 odd miles on the clock. The car feels just amazing although a bit slower and quieter thanks to Eurocharged tune and Mike's straight pipe on the old one. Had gone to the dealership for a test drive and appraisal and did not really go with the intention of swapping on the same day, so all my mods are gone with the old car, although the dealer did give me value for some of mods which was a bit surprising. Ok, enough of talk and here are some crappy cell phone pics. The exterior and interior color were dictated by the choice of the household head (wife) and thats why she agreed to go to the dealership with me in the first place

Apologies for the crappy iphone pics. will get the SLR out later and will post more pictures.

wife loves red lol. if she had a choice, all her things would be in red.
the updated tech in the car, the interior makes it worth the upgrade. besides, the old one was starting to make squeaks and sounds.

So did you have a deal on the sale price or just got a great trade in offer?
Were your mods tune + hpipe only or did you have any other $$ worth aftermarket parts?

Mods were tune plus pipe, mode carbon spoiler, jl motoring diffuser, cf mirror covers, grille, LED tail lights. the dealer took the car as-is. i got 30,300 for mine with 67000 miles on the clock and 2008 year of manufacture. i probably could have got more in private sale but i liked the fact that it was hassle free. had mixed feelings as i drove off in my new c63 and waved my old one goodbye who served me really well.

Red looks FANTASTIC!

Wasn't a fan until I saw one in person. The red is gorgeous and second only to silver IMHO. Black rocks too but it is a biotch to keep clean.

Thanks a lot, guys! Been out driving and taking long cuts to the local grocery store lol When I first saw the dealer pic, I thought the red exterior/interior would be overkill but it looks amazing in person. Didn't want a black car since I already have another one and like Marlin says, its indeed a beyotch to maintain.

Thanks! your car is an inspiration and I dug out the mode carbon thread of your car as soon as I got mine home
Can you please share some info on you blacked out the trim/grille and emblems?Not a big fan of chrome on red. Also would like to know the window tint % if you dont mind.

not really. I want to wait for the model to mature at least couple of years and give them a chance to iron out potential issues.Till then, I will enjoy the V8 NA

Thanks a lot! I would say the feel is almost the same. The older one had the same focused steering and feel as the new one. If at all, the new one feels just a tad lighter.

Thanks! The emblems are plasti-dipped. I consulted with several reputable painters about painting everything black and they said on the chrome they would not do it because it would not last and probably chip. Considering that they have to sand all the pieces down for the paint to even stick I did not want to have the paint flake and not even be able to reverse it. The trim is all wrapped with 3m 1080 gloss black vinyl.

The tint is 15%. Good luck with the new car and happy driving!
