And I don't mean to come off as condescending either, but I mean, this seems to be a clean and well modded C63. Unless we're missing something, at 60k, does $200 seem like pennies?

I think everyone here has let their finger hover over the fire button for an extra minute at least once.
And then we said "ah what the hell" and mashed that sucker down. I think thats what'll happen here. I believe in him. He will pull the trigger.
Having said that if he doesnt with this car he prolly never will. They don't get much better than this and we all know it.

Agreed, it's too good to pass up. If it was in my price range I wouldn't let any time pass on it. OP let us know what happens, but I think you'll regret it if you let it slip past you.

I can get behind this.

And I truly wasn't trying to be condescending. It just doesn't make sense. OP loves the car dearly it seems like, goes and sees it, it looks amazing, has good mods, good history, and then walks for $200... Seems left out of field, no?

But, I too think he'll pull the trigger on it though.

Don't think its really about the money. Its not usually with me anyways. Its about being ready to commit. With some of us its more of a commitment than with others. Ive had about 50+ cars in my life and at one time being in and out of them was nothing. A Datsun 510 to a Celica GT. Just a different flavour of what were fairly cheap cars. Now with kids and a mortgage and some real dollars involved I have to really think it through before I go, and I frequently have a gut check moment before I dive.

I guess its like moving. Theres some easy years there where you do it all the time, but get settled in and it looks pretty daunting.

Growing up I was in love with the Celica GT lol. It looked so fast to me when I was a kid.

Definitely one of the funner cars.

I had a 74 Celica GT with the 18R motor and a 5 gear. Everybody was like "FIVE speed? WTF?" Loved that car. Traded it for a POS Monza with a 305 and a glass pack muffler. Crap, but loud, and felt fast. I was an idiot.

Look at me using past tense. "I was an idiot". Like anything has changed except the price tag.

ya I'm going to get one but not willing to loose 6-8 thousand dollars trading in my car that would be stupid. As soon as I sell my car, I'll be in a C63, if its not the modded coupe. they are always on the market in and around my area.

I mean when i went to look at a 2016 RAM the dealer offered me 22k trade, I almost made that deal but my heart was with the C63 so I passed it up.

It's a nice car, I can't stop thinking about it but they buyer for my car couldn't come up with 5K so i had to say no. No rush ill be in the club eventually!

Plus not even making the calls for reasonable offers.... MB dropped 5k on a 2013 p31 sedan he couldn't even drop 1k and complained about how little money he's making on the car.

He continued by saying we own 31 dealerships and mercedes benz oakville... but refused to move $200....

I'm just going to sell my car privately and if its there ill go back and talk to someone else if not, ill find one by April for sure.

by the way the young kid called and couldn't get the 27k for my car said he'd give 22k. so if I find something i truly love i can always dish it off to him as he's not in a rush.

I know for sure ill be getting one, but I'm not about to lose 6-8k on a trade its just a dumb move. i would of been willing to take the tax benefit if he took the 63k offer. they even said i could take the sub,amp,C63 steering wheel.

If your C300 was a Honda civic he would a have a line of people around the block to buy it.. (best basic transportation you can buy) You will always get more money for your car by selling on your own.. Im lookin to buy a C63 by then as well.. good luck on your search.

See though guys, its not just $200, with the trade it comes out to be more.

If Marko doesn't feel right about it, then it could be more than just the price. Not to say the car is bad, but a car is supposed to make you feel something, and the dealer should deliver.

I would have bought a 2010 Volkswagen CC R-Line if the dealer budged $500. He didn't, and I don't regret my decision one bit.

Yeah, cos of how it ended up tho. If you had gone to another lot and bought a VW diesel you might be looking at the CC longingly lol.
Having said that, the VW diesels are actually pretty good cars, but what a nightmare.

True, haha, but I was looking for cars for about 5 months (ridiculous but was in no rush) Mercedes was more like, possible but unlikely, if I was going to get one it would have had higher mileage. They say good things come to those who wait, so it turned out nice. I was looking at lots of cars and on the last day it was 4pm and it was between an infiniti g25x and a c300, same year, mileage, price, everything. G25 was in chicago and c300 near mke and the dealerships closed at 5. Ended up buying this after hours but even then managed to negotiate the price down $500. Not too bad.

The car Marko is looking at is amazing, without a doubt, and I don't think it can get much better. At the same time, he hasn't been looking for long and I don't know what kind of time frame he has. The 63 is top notch though so we'll see. If at all the best he can do it not give the civic guy his comission haha.

thanks guys ya i posted my car on kijiji, will see if it sells quick.

I mean its well maintained i have all the records, only used 91 octane I have all my receipts lol, I just did the full service on it. has a **** ton of money put in it with all OEM AMG stuff, no accidents or claims.... average asking price is like 26,500 i said it some where in the post forget the number I'm only asking 27,000 with all the upgrades. if i get that number with taxes paid its about 23,500 much better than the tax benefit for my honda civic.

I just need to wait for the right person to see it and buy it. Then ill be buying a AMG!!!! in the mean time ill buy a Volvo 850 or s70 for a winter beater.

I should add I'm 99% for a sedan, its just more practical for me in the long run. (kids,life ect...)

i know the 2012 has the weird coloured instrument cluster but I can live with that as its the same in my C300.

No red calipers means no P31 package. LSD is likely out as well.
