I just got a 2012 C63 Edition 1 Sedan at work (Ultimo Motors) with 20k miles and I'm thinking about buying it for myself. Just curious to know if the previous owner was/is in here so I can ask a few questions about the vehicle.

Vehicle was serviced at:

Cherry Hill Motors
Cherry Hill, NJ
856-663-3200

Hah. I bought that same car 2 months ago. 2012 Edition 1 sedan w/ 20k on the clock.

Car looks good, but why is the bottom of the steering wheel red? Aftermarket? Looks weird.

jchristena

My Edition 1 is the same way.

I see, I'm guessing it's matching some red seats or some red stitching in the car?

If the top leather would be red too, it would look better..maybe lol

jchristena

Yea, the seats have red stitching...

rentzington

Just what they do for edition1. I think the w205 e1 has a red stripe and stitching

Roswell

Red stitching with red pinstripe on all black leather wheel would be sex

Congrats. I wish it came with the same package as on the coupe (P31). Don't know why they would leave that out on the sedan.

jchristena

Yea, that thought did cross my mind as well...

$ 54.8 for that car??? Are they serious??? I hope if you buy it that you can get a much better deal than that. Probably $10 K too high ..............The W205 release of the C63 and C63 S is killing the prices through the auction chutes of the older 204 C63.

Do you really think I paid over cost? I am one of 4 people that handles sales/buying at this store. I marked up the price to $54,800 so people wouldn't inquire about it until it got here. I had my eye on it when I bought it from auction, before it even got delivered to us.

And you can't really compare this to a standard C63. Sure there is nothing different on it performance wise from a standard 63 but the look (Edition 1 Package) holds some value to it and that's the reason why I bought it. I'll never see another one around the block.

I've seen two in the wild in Chicago, so they are out there, BUT I also stream the auctions daily when open and if that's what you paid, then YES, you overpaid. W204 C63s with the 030 PP are going in the 30s (2011 models), so you're about $20 K higher than that with about the same or lil better mileage??? Ouch...........IMHO, you'll never see that $$ back...............

Remember, after ED 1 came out, then 507 came out and those guys are also starting to get killed on values too. The W205 is killing everything right now.

I'm not sure what you are trying to get at? I just said that $54,800 was overpriced on reason. A 2011 model is pre-facelift. I bought this for personal pleasure and not retail.

But, carry on if you will.

Newzchspy

Nothing, I was just shocked at the Ultimo price.....

There's a buyer for everything......

Yes, 2011 pre facelift and you just made my point....

That price is probably a little high. The dealer was asking 51k for mine a couple of months ago. It was a certified car so I know they are proud of that. When I was shopping around, non p31 cars were ranging from 44-54k depending on if they were certified or not. I saw several DEALERS 'asking' in the low 50s.
