Lease on C43 ending- can't find 63S
Soo, my lease on my 43 ends in 4 weeks. Have been cruising all over the interwebs, and can't find a 20 or 21 C63S (sedan), anywhere. In FL, and it seems they rarely pop up here. Found one I liked in Virginia (open to just getting it shipped), and it sold in literally 24 hours.
That being said, is AutoTrader the only place to really find a car now days? I really want to lease, but obviously it is not a choice with this 4 cylinder nonsense.
I really want a 63, but time is ticking, and I can find plenty of M3's, but I'm not even remotely sold on them- but if I had to "settle", I would drive an M3.
Any thoughts, or are people just hanging onto the 63's now days due to new production? Cheers

As far as I know AutoTempest has the largest online marketspace as it aggregates data from all the other sites including Craigslist, AutoTrader etc. Don't know what the market's like for the 63 currently. I'm not selling my coupe anytime soon with the options that our out there, so I'm guessing many are holding on to theirs as well. Didn't help that AMG sold none of them in '22, so there was pent up demand. There was a run for the remaining '23 coupes. The Final Edition coupes sat around longer as they didn't really offer anything compelling, but not sure how many are still available. Especially for the sedan, there isn't really anything out there that offers what the W205 did. For the coupe, some may opt for the new GT 63 coupe once it's available stateside. I'm considering attending an AMG Driving Academy event in Germany this year to drive one, but I'll likely keep my coupe. I don't drive enough to justify a new GT 63 and it just doesn't check the same boxes the C63S coupe does for me, but I'm curious to drive one.

Have you considered leasing an Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio with 505-HP or Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing? Might be some 2023s left that dealers might have lease deals on.

C63S Coupe/CLA45
Finally was ready to let my 17 go and stumbled across a 20 Coupe with only 1900miles here in California and had all the options except ceramic brakes and Carbon package 2. Story behind it was owner lost job during Pandemic so had to let it go. Found the listing on Offerup. Just buy it and enjoy it. Leasing gives you limited miles right? I can't be restricted with my C63 lol

Owned the standard Guilia when it came out in 2017--- I like the Quads, but not really my cup of tea anymore. I like the Blackwing, but really want a V8... I feel like the Blackwing will be worth 50K in 4 years (I know Caddy's depreciate really fast). Ugh.

After watching numerous Youtube vids of the new M3, I can't get past the weak sounding exhaust. My 43 sounds way better than the M3, lol.

I have no choice but to buy, I am not going to lease this electric C63, I want the V8. I have no choice but to pay up, or buy out my current lease, but I don't want the 43 anymore. Hoping one pops up in the next 3 weeks or else I'm up ****s creek. lol

Try checking out Carsandbids.com they have plenty of c63s sedans on there with low mileage. Downside is it’s California based. But if you’re willing to get the car transported then you’re golden.

@seabiscuit your best bet would be to find one online that meets all your spec requirements and have it shipped as finding one locally is probably going to take months. There are 23 used ‘20-21 sedans listed on Autotrader nationally, but only a fraction of those are S models with under 25k miles.

I haven’t checked CarGurus but usually they have the same listings as AT.

Good luck on your C63s V8 Quest; that car is a keeper.

I sourced a c63s AMG out of houston. Sold in 48hrs if the pre inspection comes back okay. 2020 with 32K miles. sedans are getting very hard to find. I have been looking for months and this one popped up no pictures online and I was able to get it.

Oddly enough, 22 and 23 Competition M3s are still selling for 80-85K with 15K miles. Incredible. At that point, I'll wait out a C63, as that's what I really want anyhow.

I’m the opposite, I’ve never been a big fan of sedans. With the C63s sedan, MB hasn’t done enough to really differentiate it from a regular C-class sedan. Whereas the coupe, it looks nothing like a regular C-class coupe. Especially with the aero kit, it screams V8 beast.
