I'm just about to join HOTICE and put money down on a C63

Will be joining the club in 6 months :-)


Hey HotIce, I know you are another person who has put money down. Did you negotiate any discounts? The dealer said NO!!!! Being the first one there on a limited model I can understand that. The dealer even told me that I might be able to sell it for more after I get it

DO IT!!!!!! DDDDDDOOOOO IIIIITTT!!!!!! I haven't negotiated anything yet. Dealer doesn't even have pricing yet. I'm honestly not even expecting much. The car has me all sorts of excited though.

If you're smart, you'll negotiate a price of dealer invoice + $XXX.

Name dropping in thread titles makes me LOL.

No one will probably know until around the time it's revealed

I would imagine that unless you're a repeat loyal customer that dealers aren't going to order the car for less than MSRP initially unless the demand is very soft.

I'm wondering if you could actually use "truecar" service when the configurator comes out.

Nope. configurator isn't out. Just a deposit down to hold a spot. Should be one of the firsts with one cause they will be hot when they first come out. In Nov/Dec, the configurator should be out so we pick it at that time, then the order gets placed and locked.

But at some point you'll be able to build the car you want right?
How come you are so sure the new C63 will be a success?

220+ lbs lighter than the W204, 476 horsepower and 485-95 lb-ft of torque from a tunable 4.0L biturbo V8, Heads-Up Display, Carbon Ceramic Brakes as an available option, best interior in class (nice than the M3/M4, ATS-V, etc.) . . .

The car is going to offer A LOT.

the weight reduction and the power out put is already enough haha. Great interior and the other things just make it even sweeter.

Nobody has ordered the car just yet. We've only reserved our spots to order one. No information about the car is out yet.

A twin turbo V8 up front, a lighter car all around, Looks that are simply put, probably the best that Mercedes has done(I think) and 510 HP in S trim to boot? The car is going to offer everything and the kitchen sink.

Oh, if you only knew, haha! I haven't been this excited about a car in sometime. Mercedes has absolutely NAILED it. I was worried about the rear end lights, but a S65 AMG passed me yesterday on 95 and any quibbles I had were gone.
