Question about C63 507 Edition For Sale (Good Deal?)
Hey guys, I have been in the market for a c63 for the past 5 months and possible found the one.
I will be test driving this 507 edition tomorrow and wanted a second opinion about this listing/car in general before I purchase.
Car is listed for $42k and has 48k miles. Besides the 507 edition of course, packages include Multimedia + blind spot assist. (Missing LSD which is disappointing).
Questions I have: The build sheet does not show it has lighting package, but photos of the car look like it has bi-xenon lights? Was this aftermarket and replaced as Carfax shows minor front end damage or is this how the lights come standard on 507? I'm sure once I'm in the car I can use the steering wheel buttons to see if it has the lighting package features.

It does list that it has bi-xenon's on the option sheet, I have a 507 and lists the options the same, but doesn't list 319 like the non 507 cars for the lighting package.

Was looking and mine is the same as yours for lighting, shows 608 and 615 but attached is the order guide and the lighting package 619 includes the 2 lighting codes above and also should include headlight washers 600, I don't have that either like you.
I saw a thread searching around saying he had headlight washer flaps on the bumper on his 507 but no washers under them - I have the washer flaps on the bumper also but not sure they have ever done anything so maybe it doesn't actually have washers either - the thread below seems to indicate the US cars did not get the 600 headlight washers when ordering the lighting package.

Maybe borderline worth it? I think you can negotiate a lower price but some sellers are extremely stubborn and delusional. I spent this year looking for a 507 edition. My cutoff for private party was 40k for pristine and below 50k miles. I ended up buying a fully optioned Mercedes Certified Pre-Owned one for 45k.It had some rock chips but was otherwise perfect. I think I paid a fair price. Hopefully that gives you some insight.

I think it is an ok deal if it was perfect, the 507's are holding their value a bit it seems, I paid 47k for mine with 30k miles certified pre-owned 3 years ago but is a year older (2014) (at the Mercedes dealer 1/4 up the road from where that one is).
A few things to note, LSD isn't too hard to add or expensive, so nice to have but so many of these cars don't have them that don't make that a deal breaker. It shows front end damage in 2015 but in a 2017 review, it shows the front bumper is OEM paint but lists the the right door and right rear quarter panel have been repainted. On the plus side it looks like it has michelin pilot sport tires on it.
Check the brake calipers carefully (and the brakes in general) the red calipers (and mine had this issue) had a lot of clear coat peeling off them which makes them look matte red (make sure they are dry and not wet when you look at the car as if they are wet they will look shiny) and also check the rotors for wear as the fronts are 700 each but should have already been replaced by the mileage or they will be very worn out. Last I was at that dealer on the Audi side of the building, they didn't negotiate prices it is one price and they will let you walk if you won't pay it all pricing was fixed, usually not a great deal but below what any guide would tell you by 1000 or 2000.
I was really blown away with the condition of the car as I have test driven a couple other w204s recently to compare so I ended up buying the car on the spot!...
HOWEVER, I was unable to drive the car back to New York as Massachusetts state law does not allow temp plates to out of state buyers so I will have to wait 2-3 weeks for the NY Registration to pick the car back up. (buzzkill)
Yes, unfortunately you were correct regarding the fixed price at these two dealers so ended up paying sticker price. The only issues I was able to find with the car were minor cosmetics (small rock chip on front bumper, one of the meshes covering the BS hood inlets is starting to tear off and the passenger side window button is scratched off. I mentioned these to the dealer since I was paying full sticker and they assured me they would take care of them along with a free alignment and cabin filter replacement.

Congrats and yes stupid MA is one if not the only state that doesn’t do temp plates! Glad you found your car.
Let me know if you are interested in a secondary cat delete pipe, I am selling one if you are interested, known as mikes power pipe on the forum, turns up the volume on the exhaust about 20% and is brand new, was experimenting with exhaust setups and bought it for that but then went further and did full cat delete.
