C63 Black Series or C63S (2019)

Another way to look at the "investment" side of BS ownership is not that you will make money, but that you will not lose nearly as much as buying a new AMG. Before my C63 BS, I had a CLK BS. I kept the car for a little over a year, put about 8,000 miles on it, and sold it for $1,200 more than I paid ! My hope is that when I'm ready, I can sell my C63BS for what I paid for. I purchased an extended, bumper to bumper warranty ($2,800) that is fully transferable, and good for 3 years or 36,000 additional miles. In one year, I've put a little over 9,000 miles on my C63, so a new buyer would be looking at 2 years or 24,000 miles. A new C63 is going to lose $10-20k the second you drive it off the floor. I'm actually considering getting a new GLC63 as a daily, but the depreciation is a hard pill to swallow IMO.
Imagine getting paid to drive this car for a year!

Should've kept that CLK too while buying your C63BS from World-class Exotic dealership in Newport Ron! I had the opportunity to get that same exact car you bought a few yrs ago but turned it down because it has panoramic roof, comfort reclinable seats, and backseats; glad I held out, a few months ago I scored the dream spec, that do not have any of those unwanted options, less than half of the mileage what yours did at the time, while still holding onto my CLK63BS - which is a better built car "in detail", bolt-for-bolt & weld-for-weld, than the C63BS now that I have both together side-by-side.
