C450 Owner looking a '17 C63
Hey folks. My 2016 C450 is up on lease in 12 months and there is a '17 C63 on the lot that I might be able to get a decent deal on and I'm weighing options and have a couple q's.
Firstly, I live in Toronto and it snows. I have good snows and my 450 w/ its AWD was a rock star. I get RWD isn't going to be great, but with good snows any comments on drivability? Not sure how well the traction control help you stay on the road in the snow ;-)
Secondly, anyone know if my '16 C450 rims which were hard to find, will fit well on the C63? That's a few K I'd rather not spend again.
Should mention, I LOVE my 450, best car I've had. I custom ordered it (Iridium/Cranberry) and would hate to give it up, but the sound of the C63 calls to me ;-)

I think you'll definitely enjoy the C63, it's a totally different beast than the C450, totally different. Sometimes I'm stuck in traffic, and instead of getting annoyed like I did in my M3, I just drop it down a gear and let the exhaust rip and crackle.

Sorry, I misread that you had 16" wheels and was thinking "WOW, Benz with 16" wheels...I haven't had 16" wheels in 20-years". LOL

Your talking about a C63 and not a C63S right? as a C63S has larger brakes and the 18's will not fit.

If both are close now price wise, 3-years from now, the '17 C63 will be worth more than the '19 C43, so you're making the wiser financial choice too!
