2019 C63s Depreciation
I am planning on buying a C63s in two years once my CLA lease is up(pls don't roast its my first car). Looking 2 years back, the 2017s are going for around mid 60-70s right now. Will that be the case for the 2019s once they are two years of age or will the residual hold better?

Just my thoughts and actually one of the motivating reasons to pull the trigger on my recent MY2019 C63S purchase:
Merc has been introducing Mild Hybrid Electrified Inline Six powertrains across their lineup (see CLS53, E53, etc.) and reserving their V8 powertrains to the more higher end cars like AMG GT, etc. The new 4-cyliner AMG engine produces 416hp and I would imagine that AMG will invest in Inline Six development to reuse some of these components. It would be really surprising if they somehow managed to still offer the V8 powered C-class after W205 generation. For me I didn't want to miss owning a V8 over the next 8-10 years and so went forward.
There are very very few new/recent cars that you can get today in this price range, with this much power, sufficient luxury and come with a V8 engine. C63 / C63S are one of them.
Since they did the facelift for MY2019 and no big changes are planned for MY2020, I would expect the new generation not to arrive till at least MY2021 or MY2022.
So I would expect that the V8 powered W205 C63 / C63S will hold value quite well for the next few years.

I agree, once they will become anything else other than a V8 then I am out. I don't want to get anything older than a 2019 since I am a person that pay attention to the smallest details (ex. facelift, steering wheel, digital display, etc). You got a picture of yours?
