Connecticut R63 on Cars.com
http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...nal&listType=1
This R63 is in Connecticut at a used car dealer asking $45k with 47k miles. It appears to have every option except the Rear Seat Entertainment package which would also include the second row console. The aftermarket units look terrible and I doubt the leather quality matches the smooth Nappa leather as those kits are made for "standard" R Classes with lower quality leather. The interesting thing about this one for me is that it's Magnetite Black (Chromite Black in Euro markets) which is the same color as mine. I very seldom find photos of the R63 in this color. Not a big fan of the tan interior but it looks clean.
Even after purchasing mine in April, I've still been keeping an eye out on the used R63 market ever since. This is the first one to come up on cars.com, but the second one that I've found for sale since then. (The first one being the Barolo Red one offered on this forum). Just thought I'd pass the info along if anyone else is interested in this car's secondary market or is interested in the car itself.

Congrats on the red one. I'm sure you'll find out it's one sweet ride!
Although I must say the biggest downfall is the interior. There's a minimal amount of stuff covered in leather, only the seats, center armrests, door panel armrests and steering wheel rim. The rest of the stuff is vinyl with a regular cloth headliner. With an unlimited budget, it'd be awesome to ship this car off to Brabus to do the whole interior in leather/ alcantara.

Good news is that it's lost most of its value already. So the money you saved by buying used can go directly into mods! (This is my method of tricking myself to spend more money!) hahaha
