2009 C63 Black on Black
Pretty good deal for me.
reelgr:
I have had 2 E55's (6 years of the W211 V8 Kompressor) and it was time for a change. I purchased the C63 at a good price! $4000 off of MSRP + Credited 5 E55 lease payments for a total out of pocket savings for me of $9K.
After 2 E55's (I sold my 1st one to ChiroMikey) and a 2nd E55 that was about to terminate the lease on, I felt the change would be good for me.
I'm going to get MHP's tune in due time to get the most out of the 6.2 AMG motor in this car. Maybe add some headers and some other goodies too!
Regards & Happy Holidays!!!

E55
I am thinking of making this leap too. The taxes were raised from an all time high to even higher here in Finland so with about 185 000 euros= 260 000 USD for the current W211 or future w212 E63 will be just insane. The C63 is about 120 000 euros=170 000 USD so the E-klasse AMG's are starting to be in insane prices and as I am actually preferring the looks of the C-klasse, I am also thinking of making this move. The only thing is, I hate that the C63 doesnt have airmatic suspension and of course it feels smaller than the e...

Enjoy! If you are going smaller this is definitely a car to consider. I wouldn't be able to do without keyless go though...I am spoiled.

The only downside of the Car
I'll get over it!
I really love the suspension!!! I really have'nt pushed the car performance wise since I have another 900+ miles to go to break her in!

Thanks guys for the compliments! I'll give some feedback after I complete the break-in period comparing it to the E55 (kinda miss her, but gotta move on)

The C63 & E55 are two completely different experiences...i would love to own both at the same time. There are definitely days where i would choose to drive the C63....maybe it's just the sound of the exhaust...gives me a bone every time.
