Frustrated. Why are these so hard to find!

I'm looking constantly..

Locally, and miles away. Just now this comes up, Im wanting the white, with Performance pack and Media…. Asking price on this seems to be INSANE!

Good luck in your search.
Took me 6 months and a 14 hour round trip drive to find what I was looking for regarding package, mileage, and pricing!

What's so insane about it? 4 year old car that retailed for 80k selling for 38k seems like an OK deal to me.

For me, I searched for 6 months before I found one as close as I did. I think I saw 2 closer in that time and one was high mileage and the other was more than I was willing to spend on one.

Not with 60K miles. They were not 80K in 2010. Maybe 70 tops for a new one. Considering I bought my 09 6 weeks ago with 17K miles and Certified for 41K, everything but P30.

Took me 5 months and 4 different test drives before I found the one I wanted. And randomly the perfect car pops up on a local BMW dealership showcase ramp outside while on my way to work. It wasnt even on the internet yet. After studying these cars for so long, I could tell immediately as I was driving by that it had all of the packages that I wanted. Went in the next day, and busted out the checkbook and credit card.

Well, I am hoping the perfect one turns up. I literally haven't even found one that sticks around long enough to even test drive.

Best of luck on your search, OP. I started in earnest in March of this year when I found out that the 6.2L would be no more in the C63 after 2014. I wanted new or a very low mileage sedan and I initially only found 4, three in CA and one in Indiana. Two didn't have all of the packages I wanted, one was red (too flashy form me) and one was a 507. Didn't matter though as they all sold within a couple of days. I finally found one that had what I was looking for with only 43 miles on it. When I called it was in the process of being sold but I went and looked anyway. Turns out the deal fell through so I got it. I believe that MB stopped building the sedans in '14 but still has coupes if you are willing to buy new.

Your also searching in the wrong season. You will find a few more examples pop-up in the winter months or just prior to winter in my opinion.

My search was long as well. I bouhgt my 2011 C300 in Jan 11. Within months I knew I love wanted its demented cousin. I kept in contact with my dealer and did the internet seach and only a few popped up. The dealer threw me a couple of bones but never exacly what I wanted. Last January I got a call saying the original owner just traded their 2011 C63 with P31 for a new E55. I went straight to the dealer and knew that was the car. The Jan 13 CPO event was going on which sweetened the deal.

Oh wow, lucked out for sure! Thank you Stratman. I do want Sedan, as I am getting away from my low mileage S2000 (The lady wont let me have both). 2009-2010 is what I am shooting for. Everything I would want, at a good price. 31-37k.

If it's in your range and has close to the miles and package you want jump
The good ones in my area all sell super fast
