Three months into driving and I want a C63 AMG?

My budget is around 45k and i've been searching for a 2012+ c63 on the forums, ebay, autotrader, cargurus, craigslist etc.. I found a few that I liked but the RWD is holding me back. Is the oversteer that bad with the c63? Do RWD vehicles require more skills to handle compared to FWD and AWD? Is the AMG Academy opened to all drivers? Will it be a completely different driving experience compared to the one I have now? How often do you find yourself getting a speed ticket in one? Do you use it as your daily driver? How much do you spend on tires annually? What's the insurance cost?

I think you want to post in the w204 C63 forums. This forum is for the newer w205 model.

RWD is a little harder than FWD and AWD, but only if you are pushing the car hard.

Yes, it will be totally different than a Hybrid Lexus SUV at least I hope so LOL.

AMG Academy is open to anyone but only buyers of new models get a free lesson.
