To the OP:
Literally all of the options that you want can be added after the fact.
The AMG Dev package can be had by switching out brakes and adding a tune. Only thing youd miss and maybe not even then, is the Alcantara steering wheel. (Personally I prefer the leather)
The differential can be had for about $1750-2k installed with better, 100% locking options such as the Quaife or Wavetrac
The lighting package is probably the one you'd at least want to try to find, but as some have done on here to great effect, is to get the DEPO lights and switch out the halogens.
I understand wanting to just buy the car and be done with all the options on there already, but it's also a tall order trying to find just the right options.
Good luck to you

The performance package I could live without.
Locking diff and lighting package are definitely a must.
I have some experience with aftermarket LSDs (read: non clutch type) in other cars and they can't hold a candle to a good traditional mechanical unit.
Same with aftermarket headlights and tail lights.
Of course this is all just my opinion!

Seems awfully picky. For the price, you could fly to Canada and drive the car back to California, and probably still spend less than it would to buy an identical car within 1000 miles of your location.

Yes I'm picky. Isn't everyone when looking to spend a good chunk of hard earned money on a used car? I'm not interested in a car that has been through winters in Edmonton.
I've flown all over the American West to pick up cars and am ready to do it again as soon as the right car pops up.
Thanks for your input.

My car hasn't been through winters in Edmonton.
The stock tires don't have much grip when it gets below 10 degrees celsius, which we see starting in late-September, and all the way to March/April. I didn't like the idea of not driving my car for 6 months, thus I bought tires that have grip below 10 degrees. The car wasn't driven, at all, from October to April.
Like I said, sounds very picky but good luck finding the car for you.

2013 C63 p31
It will come but be patient and check autotrader daily. It took me almost a year to find clean FL low mileage sedan with lsd, p31, and lighting package. It was a trade in and I checked it out immediately before dealer added pictures to the ad.

That's exactly what I did and what happened ahah. Saw a car pop up through my daily check. Inquired before the pics were even posted. The rest is history

Don't have to ask twice :P
It's a low mile '13 sedan. Has a bunch of options including development package, lighting package and locking differential; so exactly what I was looking for!
Love it so far!
It's a monster on the freeway. Effortless. On local streets or from a stop it seems to be struggling to find traction, even at partial/medium throttle. It has the original Continental tires.

The stock conti's suck get yourself some Michelin pilot super sports and your traction problems will be solved.. I am running 255/40/18 front and 275/35/18 rear fitment is perfect with no rubbing.
What color is the interior??
I got a 2013 CPO with the P31, LSD, red/black designo leather, lighting, command, driver assist packages and probably a few I can't think of at the moment.. its loaded.. Congratz again on finding the exact car you wanted.

Maybe a pair of paint matched or clear sidemarkers to start. Not sure if that counts ahah
Nice! How long have you had yours?
I have the black tex/dinamica interior.
Those sizes PSS fit on the stock wheels with no issues?

I just went to check out the FB group but TBH I got a bit put off by all the personal information that was asked to join
This is some great info, I will definitely go that route. It would be nice to be able to go full throttle without spinning lol.
Do you have any pics of the tire fitment with those sizes?
