07 E63 purchasing advice

I think I'm ready to take the plunge. I'm ready to trade-in in my Lexus GS300 AWD for my dream vehicle. I've read a few threads on this forum of folks who recently purchased a used/CPO E63. I'm looking at pulling the trigger on one of these white beauties:

Are the prices reasonable and any additional advice?

Beautiful car, but it's too bad MB (BMW and others) don't make more White/Blk interior combos - that's the classic colors, and the beige/tan interior doesn't compare, imho. Heck, I'd even take white/ash vs. white/tan.

Yeah, I think the white/beige is way too Palm Springs looking. OTOH, white on black is perfect.

When I was shopping for my E63, one of the dealers here had a new leftover 2009 wagon. I really wanted a wagon, but it was white on beige. If it was white on black it would have been in my garage in an instant.

So did you buy one of them today???!!

I bought a 2007 E63 from Fletcher Jones here in Las Vegas last month.

I was just going to say, I LOVE THIS CAR! buy one, you won't regret it!

now, if you haven't yet closed the deal, I was going to suggest you drive a hard bargain.

with the economy being what it is, I have found local dealers are in a mood to deal (I bought my wife an Infiniti QX56 last November and got a great deal).

and the price seems pretty high on the links you provided.

my '07 had slightly lower mileage (23k), almost new Brabus Monoblock V wheels with brand new (dealer just installed) Pirellis. CPO. and I got my deal for several thousand less than the prices on your links.

also got MB financing. what a deal! no money down, 66 months @1.99% on CPO's. hopefully that financing offer is still in place and available for you.

PM me if you want to discuss your deal in detail, or want more specifics on what I was able to get my car for, and good luck!

I picked it up on May 8. The car is a beast. However, last weekend my CEL illuminated and I had it at the dealer on Wed. I had a loose ambient temp sensor. They also replaced my Comand system because it had a fault error. Additionally, I had them road force balance my two front wheels. Everything was covered under warranty.

Welcome to the AMG family and congrats on your new purchase

Warranty is sometimes a life saver on these cars

Ditto that!

my single CD player was jamming up ejecting CD's, so they replaced the entire command and nav unit!!!

yes!! the old one the screen was all scratched up, so I was happy to get a new one, I would not have been as happy had I been asked to pay for it (I think it's like 4 or 5 grand - for that kind of money I would've just not used the single CD player.....)

If you are taking your car to mb of fremont only deal with Mohammed (Mo) as a SA. He is an AMG owner himself and knows things most don't. Makes life much easier.

Actually, the work order showed the Comand unit being about $900 and the Nav unit around $700, not including labor.

I probably could've been more patient and worked out a better deal but I'm satisfied. The reason for starting this thread was to get as much purchasing advice as possible to get the best deal. The funny thing is most feedback came after I bought the car.

Yeah man, I would have been happy to pull auction numbers for you so you would have some idea of the ballpark you needed to be in. Hit me up on the next purchase and i'll give you the skinny. Have fun with the new ride man, glad you're happy with it.

That white E63 is damn sexy. congrats on the ride
