The Greatest Car Ever
My wife drove the c63 for the first time today. I had her SLK blocked in the garage. She only drives her car and never any of the others. I told her to take the c63. When she came home she said “this is the greatest car ever”. We had a c32 years ago and she loved it. My grandson has it now. Our c63 is like a new car as it now only has 2300 miles on it.

can't beat the value M156 powered vehicles give you in driving enjoyment. some vehicles can be fast, but they feel numb these cars have the right feel while still being comfortable.

I grew up in the 60’s with all the American mussel cars. Even owned quite a few of them. I think the w204 c63 is like a ‘64 GTO only much faster and with build quality.

really is a great car, I still have mine 75k miles now and even though I picked up a 992 this year the C63 is still my baby.

We just had delivered a 2014 Porsche Cayman S with only 1767 miles on it. It has been awhile since I have had a Porsche. First one was a new 1988 944 back in 1988. Then next was a 2012 911 bought on a CPO with only a few miles on it in 2012. That said the C63 just might take over my favorite car place from our 2005 SL55.

I had and have many vehicles, nothing quite compares to the roar of a m156 particularly in a c63, these cars are dying breeds so whoever has one should appreciate it. Mine has 165k miles and yes she has annoyed the f**k out of me, but what fine women hasn’t!

Hi Gene,
How has your 2020 S560 worked out? I looked at one today in JAX and feel like I am moving towards a Mercedes S-Class purchase.
My current vehicle is a Lexus LS460L and it has been trouble-free with all major repairs done via its Lexus CPO/Lexus extended warranty. However, Lexus no longer makes a lengthened LWB version and no V8 either. I have also considered a Panamera Executive used but they are really hard to find.
I am curious about the dealership and salesperson you have trusted with your past MB low-mileage car purchases. Also, do you take your s560 to the dealership for maintenance/repairs or an independent specialist?
Thank you,
John Raker
