My mistake I did not realize the 2015 coupe is still the w204. The cars are pretty much the same except for some minor cosmetic differences.

Are you asking 2014 or 2015 cause you're thread title says '15. If 14 then they are the same pretty much in every way.

I would recommend watching the respective Chris Harris videos for each car as they provide a very good overview of the two.
2015 coupe is the same one as 2012 coupe based on the W204 platform. 2015 sedan on the other hand will be based on W205.

Do you think its worth buying the 2014? Like theres a 10,000 difference and if it's the sane it might be silly to buy the 2014

Edition 1 is rarer if anything else. The newer one has the vented hood? Is it 507 edition? I like that but for the money I'd just go with the Edition 1. Unless it's a 507 edition there isn't much difference.

Yea I believe the 507 has some forged internal parts same as the SLS as well. But to be honest it's not much difference. I would be tempted with the 507 just because of the hood, but I just really like it. If you don't care much for it just go with the Edition 1.

The coupe version of the 2012 edition 1 already comes with the same performance package engine stuff and has 481 hp. Silly to tune it just to get to 507 imo.

The 507 has the cool carbon fiber hood. Also, the 507 has 19" wheels. I don't know if the Edition 1 had 18" or 19" wheels. Also, with respect to the LSD, the 507 does not have it standard, so if it isn't listed on the window sticker, then there is no LSD.

edition 1s got those black 19" multispokes. they are great looking cars. I just don't want to own matte for any period of time.

No. It doesnt come with a carbon fiber hood. the only difference is that it has vents.
