HelloGreetings, just purchased a 2014 S63 AMG and bought online sight unseen, had delivered by dealer. 35k miles MSRP of 163k dollars. Was curious And searching for any help on this particular car. On my option codes it states it was a factory PDI and it was a exhibition show car. Built in 10 13 but never titled till 7 14 , also shows option for special model A124, would any of this make it more valueable or nothing that matters to value , collectabilly ? It does show a accident on Carfax but Mercedes still certified it and it has CPO till 12 19. OK thanks for any help
If this is anything like Lexus vehicles. During car show times, manufacturers want certain vehicles at the shows to represent them. These cars sometimes make the rounds and then go off to be demos and or sold off at dealers. All vehicles are PDIed, I guess the manufacturer could do it. I have not heard of that. All manufacturers dealerships do all the PDI's. The only thing I do not care for on show car vehicles that are sold, is that everybody at the shows get to play with everything and touch everything. Kids climb over everything, etc. I have seen car show cars have electrical issues due to after the vehicles make the car show runs, they have to be put back to stock configurations. Most car show cars are tampered with to make certain things stay powered up or work, so everyone can play with the different gadgets. I have found some Lexus vehicles, that were sold after a car show run, and the buyer brought it back with electrical issues. I found that whoever did the check over after the show missed some items. It was not a big deal, just an inconvenience for the customer. As for collectability. Anything is collectable you just have to find a buyer. That go's for worth, you just have to find a buyer willing to pay. I guess the vehicle could be rare, if a vehicle had pretty much every option ticked off and a certain exterior/interior color combination chosen. I hope this helps.
Yea that would be true if it was auto show car ,but interior looks brand new not one blemish, i was hoping they gave car special attention on build and paint, engine , I purchased the car for 68 k Certified.
Gorgeous car! I can't imagine the show car would be worth any more to anyone else but who cares, it's yours now and you'll probably keep it for a while. I LOVE my car ... you'll love yours too.
Thanks Stever, I see you have a 911 turbo S , in the Porsche world if it has rare option or special color it makes them the Unicorns, but i really like the car ,its a beast. i have a 996 turbo 6mt also, so that why i was curious if it mattered any to anyone, LOL guess not

Too funny, we have much in common. Yeah, a Porsche 911 Turbo in orange or lime green could command more money for sure but a MB S63 with an unusual option or situation, I personally don't think it would affect the price at all. But what do I know...
