Steel grey 2009 C63 37k miles south bay area
edit: forgot price... $44,500.
Bought in august 2008 at mercedes pleasanton CA, one owner car, always garaged. Still has a little over 3 months left on the warranty.
I'll have a carfax and experian auto check available soon
Window sticker is $68,680 msrp.
Options
Steel grey - $720
Ipod integration kit - $375
delimitation of top speed to 174mph - $1,250
limited slip differential lock - $1200
P02 Premium package: Bi-xenon headlamps with active curve illumination, corner illuminating fog lamps, Headlamp washing system, Power rear window sunshade $1,100
318 AMG leather package: AMG premium leather upholstery, 8 way power front sport seats with memory feature, power steering column with memory feature $2,980
320 Multimedia package: 7-inch power retractable high definition display, 40gb harddrive with gps navigation, harman kardon logic7 surround sound with dolby digital 5.1, enhanced voice control for audio, telephone and navigation, 6gb harddrive with music register, in dash memory card reader $2,980
KBB for the car in "good" condition with no options is $43k, the only options kbb lets you add is the multimedia package and p02 premium package. Which makes the KBB $44,700. KBB has no options for limited slip, delimitation, or amg leather package. I estimate those would add at least $2000-$2500 on top of the $44,700 KBB price. So technically i think i am under KBB by at least $2k.
KBB
The car also immediately had a 3m clear vinyl put on the front bumper, front hood, edges of the doors, and the center edge of the rear bumper so putting stuff into the trunk doesnt scratch it. Also had 40% tint installed on the windows.
The wheels have a bit of curb rash, but nothing too egregious. Most of the miles this car saw were highway miles to oakland. The rest of it was, believe it or not, spent with two child seats in the back. Essentially not much aggressive driving was done in this car. I currently have the trip report at 32,000 miles. and the mpg reports 19 COMBINED on a car that supposedly only gets 19mpg highway and 13mpg city. Driving around the car in the basic automatic mode will get you better mileage than you think, its still only a 3900lb car. This will drink fuel though once you get on it in manual mode, so a 19mpg combined is certainly not easy to obtain if you like to poke the fun pedal. I also never felt the need to get one of the various ecu tunes done either, most others tend to disagree, but i believe the car is beyond most peoples limits already, especially on street roads. I also didnt do any mods, I think mercedes really thought of everything, the seats and their bolsters are perfect, the exhaust is one of the best throaty growl sounds ever, the suspension is firm enough while not being overly harsh, and the brakes are huge and have what seems like infinite grab.
I just clay barred the whole car then waxed it, its buttery smooth, far smoother than any car from a dealership.
Here is the gallery, it includes pictures of the service records (i cant remember if this is all of them or not), it also includes a picture of the windows sticker
Any questions or if you want to see the car, email me, in most cases i will respond back very quickly.

http://www.carfax.com/viewEmailRepor...3D&language=en
press on full history, ebay gives free auto checks so thast why its on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...4#full-history

No bites?? I've had it appraised by a dealer and was offered a check right there.. i know this price is fair.
This car in c63 terms is untouched. Its had an easy life.
If you feel the body is in rougher shape than you were led to believe ill negotiate, but the car needs to be sold, the car depreciates over time, and i have a certain time limit on that appraisal by the dealer. It does no good sitting in my drive way and eventually ill just sell it to the dealer.

Sold through craigslist. Ill just go ahead and disclose what i sold it for: $41k. buyer had me bring it to autobahn mercedes where they found not a single thing wrong with it (he paid a $250 diagnostic fee) and they said the brakes and tires have about 10k more left on them. The front left parking lamp was out so they replaced that for free. Hes going to buy the extended warranty for $4100.
Was a happy buyer since he got a spotless interior, a near spotless exterior, and a warranty that will last the 3 years he intends to own this car all for $45k.
