On the first page of the Mercedes For sale sub-form there are 8 C63s for sale! Just curious why people are unloading them, jumping to something bigger like an E/CLS/S?

The C63 forum is one of the most active on MBWorld, and C63 owners tend to be more hands-on than other Mercedes owners so I'm not surprised there are more C63 for sale.

A lot of people who buy the C63 are also car hoppers. They go from sports car to sports car every few years looking for new thrills. As the loan nears its ends (4-5 years), they'll dump for a new car to mod/tune/play with.

Economies of scale, the C63 is the most successful AMG to date. Thus you will see more for sale etc.

I resemble that remark.

The problem I find is that the C63 is at or near the top of the price range I'm willing to pay for a car. As a consequence, I have to step down for a couple of years (think 335i Coupe) and then back into a 63 just to feel the thrill again. Going from one 63 to another doesn't deliver the jolt I'm seeking.

You resemble my remark? Wut?

going up the class line does mean a lot..you can't compare a S65 to a C63 but yeah i know what you mean, the c63 for me kinda hits every nail on the head and i feel not many other cars can do that unless i spend more (6 figures)

In other words, I am the guy you described.

O god, ok hahaha. I was so confused. I thought I had insulted you somehow.

W205 C63's are coming out soon.

W205's, in my opinion, are aesthetically horrid. I have one in my complex and it likes to park next to me and everyday I think "dear jesus..... someone save this car"

So it has nothing to do with the head bolt issue? How wide spread is the head bolt issue?

Well, that's a tough question. Lots of dealerships will good-will the fix if they fail. I have a 2010 that is in the affected range, I drive her hard as **** (only a weekend driver) and haven't had any problems. Some cars have them fail, others don't. It doesn't seem to be universal.

This is just my understanding from word of mouth and from experiences.

I guess your dealership wasn't willing to do a good-will fix? Have you tried going to another dealer?

deadfission

The goodwill fix is only if they fail, mine haven't failed.

They are too soft... I'm going back to BMW next car.

Also the w205 c63 is turbo like most cars now. The m156 is last of the big NA motor AMGs. Which make them special.
