Thanks. Saw the Silver R63 as it's an hour drive from me at the Kia dealer

I was offered the car for 40k with 41,000 miles on the clock- passed (not a Silver fan)

Looking to buy via private party

you could always go a vinyl wrap on the car--there's not too many of these floating around as you probably know already.

'04 CLK 500 Cab. '04 E-320 4-Matic Wagon
Have an '06 R500 that still has AWD with only 30K and can launch better than my CLK55. Rare to find(only seen one AMG) but I must admit they are heavy compared to the E-500 wagon! But since my wife can kick my butt in the van she rules! Oh, and it is Silver...sorry. Happy hunting.

Please PM me the details. I have a friend who just totalled their R-Class and needs a new one ASAP. This would fit the bill.

The only one I have found is for sale in California, and the guy was too lazy to even take it out of his dark garage for photos. How you can post bad pictures of the outside only and still ask $78k for a vehicle is beyond me.

R63 seems like a good investment, seems like so little were made that there will always be someone looking for one of these cars just because of the rarity.

-1, since when has any AMG been an investment?? Rarity does not equal investment in the R Class. Even though its an R63, the R classes have NOT sold particularly well the past 4 years and MB will probably kill this ugly step-child after the next two years (2011 is revision/update and R63 is gone) Even the dealers didn't like the ugly-duckling (their words)

In 3 years you'll see these on lots for 10 K since no one will care anymore.

most likely true. CL65'S of which there were only 194 built in 05 and had a list of 179 msrp are now only bringing 30-40k.

The big difference between the r63 and other amg cars is that the r63 still doesn't have a replacement. If you want a 500hp minivan then you really don't have any other choices... When you factor in the low production numbers then supply and demand plays a bigger role.

I know that but what the hell is a "full accident"

I don't see that stated in the ad anywhere. How do we know the extent of the accident? I

There are currently (July 2011) two more R63s for sale in the US. One is a $65,000 dreamer and the other is at $50,000. Seriously, I don't get the point with these prices and you'd be better off getting a real minivan and saving the money for a true sports car. The R program is coming to an end anyway and so will the prices they are asking for these.

A lot of us R63 owners already have "true sportscars" to go along with our R63s...
