I've been toying with the idea of buying a C63 Black Series even though I just went through the process of losing a bunch of money and it taking months to sell my CLK63 Black Series. I'm wondering if anyone has been watching pricing closely enough to have a sense of what they should be selling at.
There's a red one (i know the rarity, but downside for me is that one has the rear seat delete option) that has 15k miles for sale asking $99k, a black one for sale that's asking $90k with 10k miles and a white one that's asking $75k with 30k miles.
I wasn't using it very often for a few reasons. For one, I have two kids (a 2 year old and a 1 month old). I'm now taking the 2 year old to school each day before I drive to work and like the idea of driving this on occasion. I'll have two other cars that are mine (plus my wife's) so still wouldn't be putting a ton of mileage on this car. I'd want something I can buy, put a couple thousand miles on per year for a couple years and not lose much money over that time, or spend much on upkeep. Another part of my hesitation for not using the CLK often was that it was modded and I felt like there weren't good resources locally if I ran into issues with it (it was aftermarket supercharged). More paranoia and not wanting to deal with a $20k repair bill if something catastrophic did go wrong. I think if it had been a stock CLK that I would have kept it longer.

I have a black one with about 30k miles. Trak pak with aero, rear seats. I have a warranty with about 18 months and 15,000 miles left. I bought it with the same idea as you have. Drive it occasionally so that I don't put too many miles on it and sell it for close to what I bought it for. Well, I enjoy this car so much that I drive it much more often than I planned. I had a CLK63 BS before this car and while I liked it, the C63 is superior in almost every way IMO. Biggest improvement is the transmission. It actually shifts like a proper sports car instead of the lethargic CLK. Anyway, I keep telling myself I'm going to sell my current car, which I will if someone makes me a good offer, otherwise I'm going to keep enjoying it.

Ron...I've seen you post in most of the threads I've read through searching. Would you PM me a number I could text you a couple questions about? I know you keep an eye on the market.
I've sworn too many times that I wouldn't buy another black colored car again here in Las Vegas, so unlikely to be a buyer for your car unless it was the right deal and knowing your posts, imagine it's more than the other 30k mile one for sale.
Yep, still here. Had no idea you were playing for the AMG team these days It's been a minute since I've seen you.
This week I am. :P I've owned 24 cars now and if I end up buying a C63 BS will only be the second AMG owned after having the CLK63 BS. We shall see. Would love to catch up. What side of town are you in?

Yeah you always were one for changing up the selection day by day. I'm still in Henderson, but moved out by Tuscany. You?
Nice! I've got too many other distractions to concentrate on doing the house up to that extent. I seem to collect expensive hobbies like some people collect ex-wives :p I've got a Tundra TRD Pro in Quicksand, rooftop tent on the back too, another money sink lol.
I hope you find the BS you're looking for. Don't buy black here!
10th time you posted this link. Are you a used car salesman?
no, but I respect those that are; and I'm just simply helping those that have been searching for many years, would love to see it stays in our lovely community, they may not check back until a notification from their own thread.
