2013 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series Coupe

Up for sale is 1 of 26 2013's in the US, 1 of 130 total in the US (includes 104 2012's), 1 of 800 total worldwide. This car has been an absolute pleasure to drive over the past year, but the time has come for me to find her a new, good home. The draw of the SLS's gullwing doors has proven too strong to ignore, and that's what will be taking her place. If I had more garage room, I wouldn't be parting with this beauty.

The C63 Black Series is truly the most convenient supercar; massive full-sized trunk, proper / usable back seats, non-supercar insurance rates, and an aggressive yet still understated look. Why buy a 2014 C63 "Edition 507" Coupe when you can get the true beast to come out of AMG's skunkworks in Affalterbach for barely $10k more than a fully loaded 507 Edition? The wide-body of the normal / 507 Edition C63 is widened even further for the Black Series, with wider tires, and even better handling. Additional unique features over the non-BS C63 include an additional oil cooler, limited slip differential, and various engine & drivetrain parts from the SLS AMG.

Full Disclosure:
1) Lower side of front bumper was scratched by a Mercedes dealership while being serviced. Instead of simply wet-sanding and re-spraying, they graciously agreed to replace the entire bumper and pay for it to be re-wrapped by Premier Protective Films. New OEM bumper was shipped in from Germany and replaced by Fletcher Jones Mercedes in Fremont, CA.
2) On the rear right panels, there are shallow swipes in the Paint Protection Film (it did its job!) due to almost being run off the road by a truck. Did not go into the dirt, thankfully, but bushes were protruding onto the road, and I caught the tips of them. It's barely visible, but I tried to get a couple photos of them in the Sun for full disclosure. Premier Protective Films inspected and confirmed that everything is Ok; this is why I paid for paint protection film.

Priced to sell quickly to a forum member at $99k!

I just wanted to say thanks to Abe for his help with this car and making it such an enjoyable experience so far! Doing a deal from Tulsa to Cali isn't the easiest, and there is no way he could have communicated better with me this whole time (I think my Gmail log reads 87 emails!) I couldn't be more excited about buying the car from such an avid enthusiast and a great guy...now the wait really begins

You're most welcome, Rob. Thanks for being super awesome to work with, as well. Communication is key, and we had exactly what was needed here.

I'll keep you posted, as always!
