C63
potential purchase
Hi everyone , have been reading as much as I can and I think I am getting a grasp on things but also becoming overwhelmed with codes and options .
Looking at a 2013 c63 , the codes of interest are
471-
923
p30
u70
From my limited knowledge this would be a 2013 with a performance suspension ( p30) , LSD , the painted calipers , and 923 means 481 hp ( does this also mean the forged internals ? )
Thanks in advance to anyone that can take some time to help with this question.

P30 is the P31 AMG development package (option is always P30 but they call it P31 on the facelift cars) It includes the following and yes 471 is the LSD
Increase HP to 481 (code 923)
*Light Weight AMG Forged Pistons
*Light Weight Connecting Rods
*Revised Crankshaft
*New Engine Managment
*AMG Compound Braking System
*Red Brake Calipers (code U70)
*New CF Rear Trunk Spoiler
* Top Speed of 174mph!
* New Alacantera AMG Steering Wheel

Thanks ! that's what I was looking for , wasn't sure if the 481 hp was just going to be through a tune or if this particular car came with the forged internals. Appreciate the response.
I am in between this 2013, and possibly a 2014 507 model.

I looked at that VIN you posted and that blue is very nice, haven't seen that color in the US, but a 507 is kinda the ultimate C63 if you can swing it and has the right options (black series doesn't count to rare and too expensive)

I agree either car will be terrific. Check the 507 has the 471 code LSD if you think that option is important to you and everyone here will tell you it is. If not you can add a Quaife or Wavetrakc LSD for about $1500-2000.
