2009 or 10?

I hope I put this in the right place...
I want to try out a AMG .
I would love to get a R63 but trying to find one .

I think that a 09 or 10 E63 Estate which can be pretty hard to find will do the part replacing my S4 avant.
Can anyone tell me what differed in the E63 09 vs 10 are any of these AWD?

I might have to go with a sedan I'm ok with that or should we hold out for an Estate?
Car seats in the back lots of space or cramped? We have a RECARO booster chair for my oldest and a rear facing Diono RadianRXT Convertible.

Also I know this one is not in the years I'm looking at but I like that it's green.
It has a pretty crazy carfax anyone know this car?

Is KBB pretty
accurate to go by or since they are specialty cars use something else?

09 is a 211 chassis, and a 10 is a 212 chassis. They look completely different. They both have the same 6.2L power plant though. I guess it would come down to personal preference on the either edgey, or smooth lines...

None of the AMG's are AWD until 2014.

If I were you I'd go with the 2010 (the new shape)

Everything is the same but newer shape, design and I think some features

as well.

I should have asked cabin space is the same?
I like the look of the 09 back and 10 front. Anyone with kids and these cars?
Thanks for the info also.

i have an 07 E63 and a 2014 E350, cabin space is about the same, maybe the 07 is a bit more spacious. if I were to do it over again id still by the 07 vs a 2010 E63, if we were considering a newer version of the AMG i maybe choose otherwise.

I like better W211 than W212. Also the price gap is about $10K+

You definatley don't see green very often...can't say I love it, but it is admittedly a refreshing change from the typical black/silver/white palette we've all become accustomed to. I personally like the lines of the W211 chassis better than the newer W212.

I thought it could be rare?
It is a hard sell on the tan interior.
Did anyone see the carfax 2 owners less then 14 days total?
Also a east coast car.
I'm going to go with a 07-09

I've got a 2004 E55 in the exact same shade of green. Never seen another one like it and I didn't realize the E63s also came in the color.

It's called Everest Green and looks black in certain light...I've gotten several comments and compliments from people on my 'black' car.

I'm also considering upgrading my E55 to a 2009 CPO E63 or perhaps a 2010. Not sure how I feel about the 2010, it's certainly more 'modern' looking and has 11 more HP but I think the center stack looks cheaper. It's also significantly more expensive.

I love that color! I wish it was wagon and had a black interior LOL.
I'm not a fan of the 212 chassis at all. So I'm sticking with a 09 or 08.
