Could not choose from C63 sedan and S500 coupe

I couldn't decide between a 2016 C63 sedan with 60,000 miles and a 2015 S500 coupe with 95,000 miles. Both cars are priced the same and are in good condition. I love the comfort, luxury, and looks of the S500 coupe. On the other hand, the C63 is sportier, but its appearance is a bit dull, and the sound is amazing, though the S500 sounds good as well. While I want to buy an S500 coupe, I am concerned about its depreciation over the next 1-2 years. I have researched its reliability, and it seems quite good, with no major issues reported

Maybe someone has been in similar situation. Which one did you choose and why? And What about the S500 depreciation and reliability?

Not sure how comparing these two cars makes any sense. They are completely different animals. Either you want a sporty, raw performance car or you want a luxury coupe. Also comparing a sedan with a coupe, the sedan will always look dull. The C63 coupe looks much better in my opinion with the wider wheel arches and wider stance compared to the standard coupe. The AMG sedans always look too much like their non-AMG siblings. The 2019+ C63 coupes were also optionally available with the AMG Aerodynamics package for an even more muscular and aggressive appearance and there are two carbon fiber packages to spruce it up even more. I have all these options on mine.

Quite frankly the S Class doesn't do much for me. The coupe looks great, no doubt, but driving an S Class puts me to sleep. It'd have to be an S63 to even consider it. Regular S Class is just too soft, isolated and disconnected from the road. Had a loaner S 500 a couple of months ago and felt like I had instantly aged 30 years . Very aloof driving experience.

I sort of agree here with the above. If you live in the city and the roads are bad, the ABC suspension rivals bentley and I assume rolls royce but I haven't driven one to be honest. It is very isolated, however it is firm around corners, its interesting and different.

C63 would be in my opinion harsh in like nyc. I live in the country by the water and it's perfect. I would guess it is a good time to buy a c63. I think it is possible they may appreciate a bit, or at least stop depreciating if current market trends continue.
