... are always a good time.
Purchased a 2013 C63-P31 from an elderly lady...

Yes, that's basically what I did!!! How much did I pay? Read on my friends.

Short story. This 64 year old lady physician purchases and sells her cars every 5 years. Regardless of its mileage or condition. This car was one of them.

2013 Mercedes Benz C63 AMG with the P31 Development Package and the Designo Leather Interior Package and more! The color is Magnetite Black

2013 C63-P31 in Magnetite Black


Purchased with less than 24k miles. with the tan leather interior.

The car only has 23900 miles on it. No accident history. No issues. And it appears to have had no passengers in the backseat either. This car was NOT from a dealership. It was purchased directly from the owner.

I picked it up and it was not pretty. The paint was rough and contaminated from not being washed much.
And the ash and debris from the California wild fires thrashed the finish. The motor was dusty. The wheels were good but dirty. Floor mats in perfect condition since its been covered with the rubber OEM mats.

Interior is perfect. Rubber floormats protected the wool floor mats and carpet.

The rear passenger area was rarely used.

I spent many hours over a weekend and washed, clay bar, wash and polish and wax and more wax. As for the interior, it was PERFECT!!!




Anyway, I've done a few mods to the car such as springs and a strut bar and custom alignment.

I entered it in the AMG class during the 2018 Monterey Car Week at the Legends of the Autobahn Concours event and won 3rd place.


Purchased in August of 2018 and now the months later the car has about 27k miles. I paid $36k. Everyone was pleased, seller and I.

Enjoy the pics!




Miguel

Yeah that interior is hot. I’ve never seen it before, it’s more like a saddle color imo.

Nice find!

Yeah.... thanks folks.

Im currently a member of Norcal AMG Lounge. Ive met up with them for the Monterey Car Week events.

I'm pretty lucky to score this car. I understand that the interior was a special add on that cost a few grand. I have the window sticker, I just don't remember the price.

Unfortunately, there are some things that I'm unable to correct on the car. Because of its misuse, the Chrome exhaust tips have some corrosion and you can see from the picture. Is there a way to replace those.

Just a normal lady that likes Mercedes. But, her next car was an SUV because she needs to transport grandkids.

Loaded my friend. I left two 30ft lines on a freshly asphalted street in the City.

I added the CF. I got the car completely original.

Look at the paint. It's so messed up from not being cleaned after the Northern California wildfires.

If you need anything else fixed let us know.

As far as the tips go, you could take this opportunity to go with E63 exhaust tips (if you're into that)

I did, and I love them!
