People say I am Crazy trading my c63 AMG Edition 507 For a GLC 300 but.....

I traded in my 2014 c63 amg 507 for a 2016 GLC 300 and have never been happier before I had a 2010 CLS550 and I loved that car. I hated the 507 it had no luxury except a radio. Chicks did not know what it is they loved the CLS and the GLC more then it doesn't matter that it was more expensive. I put 30k miles on it in 2.5 years and I am so happy to see it go I felt every rock or bump on the road for that time I sweated to death in the black leather and spent more then the car on gas. It was fun to say I owned one but I love my new GLC I just wish they made more aftermarket parts and had the off roading package available for the USA. If you want my C63 you can hit up http://www.schumachermb.com/ thats the dealership that has it I traded it for 49,500 and they are going to have to fix the door so it mite take a minute but you can hit them up and barter in the mean time ! If anyone finds out some aftermarket parts or tuning for the GLC post in here please !








With Finance and Warranty Total Final Finance was $113,000.00 USD in Arizona




I hate Matte Paint never again will I own a Matte Paint Car !




Original Tires Lasted 10k Then I put on some Pilots since I am in AZ and it never really rains and they lasted till I traded in at 30k and still had 40% of the rubber left




507 as a daily driver is not recommended




Insurance was only 160 a month for me being a male in his early 30;s with no tickets and decent credit




Notice the ding in my door happened on the second day I had the car the guy with the registered spot next to me did it cause I never drove the car except from my dealer to my parking space and the guy denied it. Lets just say I was not heart broken the night my girlfriend drank to much and puked all over his car also because of matte paint 3000USD to repair so i never did it the whole time i had the car




Best part about being it was the 1 day AMG class which I got to drift the same 507s in which is something i would never do to this car normally




Black leather in arizona was a huge mistake ! these seats and shocks grant you the ability to feel every flaw in the road




The bucket seats had no ventilation so on any drive over 30 minutes our backs would be wet from sweating in it




I traded it in for 49,500 I owed 45,000 so I feel like I did not get super robed on the deal was a fun car 5% of the time

Anyone who has driven any C204 coupe will understand your decision.

If you are looking at aftermarket tuning you should contact your local Brabus dealer.

Brabus - Aftermarket

I have looked around a great deal and I think since the 2.0t is so new it does not have a chip or parts made for it yet. Do you think that the parts for the 2015 CLA45 would work since they both share 2.0lt engine

There is a Brabus kit available +25 kw +50 nm

The GLC 300 is called the 250 in other markets.

The current CLA 45 engine was developed by the MB Formula One team after AMG had squeezed all they could out of it. I doubt the standard engine has much in common with it.

'16 GLC300
There isn't too much available for it in the aftermarket yet but I'm looking into compatible c300 parts for it.

So far I think the downpipe will fit but haven't tried it yet. Will do soon...
