Trade '13 C63 for AMG E63 S?

Hi all,
Just wondering if any of you have thought about trading your C63 for the new 2018 AMG E63 S. I've been looking hard at this machine as it is an amazing performer as well as having a great interior too. I really like my '13 P31 sedan but that thing just seems to be calling me. What do you all think? Maybe its the beer and listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan at Montreux in 1985 but that machine is one bad *** creation. By the way I'm 61 and this will be my last harrah if I do go for it (I do like to drive fast but I'm very discreet about it too).

If I ever had to replace my w204, I would get the e63s vs a w205. But I think I may loose a little bit of handling + steering feedback.

I would have to agree because the c63 is one of the more nimble cars benz they have made

Unless your W204 C63 regularly sees double duty as a weekend track warrior, the W213 E63S is a much better car in every respect.

I had a chance to drive the W213 E63S and it's just incredible. Stock it felt faster than some weistec stage 3 supercharged W204 cars i've sat in. That alone should tell you everything you need to know. Of course the interior is world class, nothing comes close to it currently on sale IMO. If you can afford it, I'd go for it.

I'll be looking to get one in 3-4 years, because I cannot afford one currently.

Thanks for the replies folks and I apologize for it being so tardy but haven't logged on since posting this. Anyway, I'm going next week to Fletcher Jones in Newport Beach to hopefully test drive the E class and we'll see what happens.

New E63s is an absolute beast of a machine. I would definitely get one if I could afford one now.
