Since I wrecked my car, I'm looking at 3 different options for a replacement
all are 507 editions all very similar with almost all options including lane assist, lane tracking, blind spot, active headlights, multimedia, keylessGo, illuminated door sills, etc.
all have

1) white with black napa, black leather, black wheels all options EXCEPT

• NO CARBON FIBER
• NO LSD
• BONUS AMG Multimedia system (like the Black series in the dash
• Bonus still under extended warranty
• 46K miles - $45,000

white - will look good with some carbon accents

2) Obsidian black, black interior,

• HAS LSD
• HAS CF
• DINAMICA interior
• 46K miles $37,000
• only issue - been in 2 small accidents

obsidian with silver wheels


3) Obsidian black

• HAS LSD
• HAS CF
• 38K miles $42,000

black obsidian loaded

i hate this red trim and I hope it comes off easy

differences are lower miles, AMG multimedia package, and in case of #2 2 minor accidents which could save me a few thousand. but this is a car ill probably always keep-- so does it matter?

I guess I answered my own question, why worry about the price if it's one Ill always keep then why worry about a few $K

any input appreciated

 

I'd personally go with option #3. LSD is a must IMO.

 

I’d personally lean towards number 3. Lower km, Obsidian black looks killer, LSD and Carbon fibre are included which is a big plus. Not sure if the multimedia infotainment would motivate me to buy. But I imagine that you ordered them in the order you would pick so I probably didn’t help much

 

Number 3. LSD is a must as well as no accidents.

 

Take a look at the colors for me and tell me what you think

 

this is driving me crazy
all this and NO LSD....

LSD... without this

 

I guess I'm the only one, but I'd go with option #1.

First of all, you can add carbon anything you want aftermarket anyways.

Of course, your first mod should be aftermarket LSD. You should have some negotiating room with this car so use it and put the money towards LSD.

You won't find many cars with the media. That, and the car looks most well taken care of the 3. Plus, white is the best color haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

 

^ I'd be a bit cautious with option #1 due to the wheels. Authentic black 507 rims should have a silver ring around the edge which seem to be missing. Unless they've been painted of course.

 

Ya, not a fan of the red details either.

 

Regardless, #3 has a bunch of (honestly, distasteful) modifications when compared to it. #2 looks stock but why bother with accidents in that price range. Considering it has the media pack, it's not a fake.

 

Agreed. Seeing pics, #1 seems the best choice though some additional $$ required to add an LSD.

None seem like slam dunks however...

 

i hate the red too. If it comes off, still my choice. I live 507s in white and LSD isnt hard to add. Maybe get the white and throw and LSD in like I did.

 

None of them. Keep looking until you hit on exactly what you want. You'll know it without having to ask us.

 

I go with Option 1.
The AMG multimedia system is a major PLUS!

Carbon Fibre interior and LSD can be retrofitted very easily.

 

carbon fiber I don't care

anyone know how much it would cost to add an LSD? Im sure I could Google it in here but rough estimates for this discussion?

 

First one is a bit overpriced, but has AMG multimedia which is super rare and nearly impossible to add, so if you want that, you can add LSD and carbon if you wanted, those are fixable. Like someone else said, make sure it is a real 507 rims should have the silver lip groove, but if they get curbed it is hard to fix unless you fill and paint black, so may just be that.

#2 I probably would not look at due to the accidenst.

#3 is the best deal over all with the lower mileage and being loaded as long as all the red crap comes off.

 

LSD is like 1100 or so for a wavetrack + install, so figure 2k probably, or maybe you can get an OEM one and swap it in, Diff is pretty easy to remove, 2-3 hours would swap a used on in.

 

If its purley a driver and #2 checked out ok I would probably do that one just cause I like the package and wheels, then pocket the savings or use it for mods. Otherwise if your looking for best resale #1 I imagine would be best, after you add carbon and LSD. That AMG media package seems pretty rare.

 

you're 100% right. but I'm without a car right now
my c63 p31 was my daily
and this will be as well

 

I vote option 1. Having the AMG performance media is pretty rare. It’s the only thing you can’t add on, whether OEM or aftermarket. LSD, CF, wheels, etc can all be easily added on later.

 

+1 on option 1

 

Id go number 1, you cant add the media pack but you can add LSD and CF later

 

I vote on option #4, my BS for sale.

I’d opt for #3 if all the red accents can be removed. If not, then #1 and add the rest of the stuff later on.

 

My vote number 1 but it’s over priced. Add the lsd when you get it. Easy fix

 

#1 is overpriced

47k usd and no CF, no LSD? I'd keep looking.
