I'm moving the price to $38k, last best and final. I'll keep it if it doesnt bring that much.
CPO through April 15, 2012. Mileage at 40,210.

Yep, you are right.
I hoped to move it quickly to catch the killer deals on the remaining 2011 SUV's, but once they dry up and its back to full price on the 2012 vehciles, there is no reason to sell the car short of a fair price.
If the worst thing about all this is that I its more cost efficient to keep the e63 than take a lick on trade, then c'est la vie. Its not such a bad thing....LOL

Double secret last chance. Moving to $37,000.
I have the dealer on the ropes on an '11 Denali and need to move this car.

I have a fantastic picture I took of my son in the back seat of the e63 when going over a little hill that caused tickles in the belly.
I like the GL550, but if I'm going the SUV route, I want to go BIG. And, since we're heading out west this summer, its a good reason to get a monster SUV for 2 weeks on the road. [Okay, honestly, I just want a big SUV for any old reason].
I like the new QX56 quite a lot...but felt it was a little too luxurious, and I'm wanting a little more "mud and dog" action. LOL.

From Autotrader ad
"Never tracked or raced. .... never park near anyone else, and there were no kids, pets or smoking in the car"
Should have added
" Never pushed the gas more than half way" while you were at it
All kidding aside it is a nice clean car. GLWS

LOL. I suppose I should have been more clear. Was trying to indicate its not a daily driver for kids - no cheerios, dirty feet, etc. The little guy does enjoy an occasional ride on the weekend.
Good spotting, by the way! So busted!

2007 E63, 2006 C55
RE: E63 Price
Man, at that number you can't be far off from just trading it in for the Denali. If the GM dealer wants your business, have him step up a little on the trade.
Suggest you also get a quote from CarMax, they just might surprise you. If you havn't already, try your Benz dealer too; mine recently made me an unsolicited offer for my little C55, I declined because I like it, but their number was way over book.

Happy to report that I said "f*ck it" and took the car off the market. I'm keeping the e63.
In the end, after dealing with shyster dealers (offering bull**** trade numbers), and the random private parties looking to buy it for a steal, I decided that its far too nice (and far too fun) a car to sell it at such a silly reduced rate. I really like it - but just wanted something different at that moment. The better option is that I think I will instead buy an older P.O.S. suv to trash with my hounds and kids, and keep the AMG for my own personal pleasure.
So, all you "lurkers" out there who could have jumped on it during my moments of weakness - you missed out. The Autotrader ad is gone, and I'm going to keep it for the next 24 months, probably driving like it was stolen, and will enjoy the hell out of the MB extended warranty.

Probably for the best, rather than take such a big hit so soon after you bought it.
Not to mention the 2 brand new front struts that you have now.

I can't believe the price was so low and it didn't sell!! The mileage was good, the price was good...
Anyways, hopefully you can enjoy it over those 24 months!!
