2013 E63 AMG
Out with the old 2013, in with the new 2013

Stumbled on a deal too good to pass up on a leftover new 2013 E63. White on black with Performance Package and carbon fiber trim. It's the car I wanted the first time around, but I settled for the black non-PP my local dealer had in stock. This time I got it exactly right. Never warmed up to the front end of the 2014 model and didn't want AWD due to its roll-racing disadvantage, so this was the perfect new car for me.

New car: MSRP $106k, selling price $86,750
Trade: MSRP $96k, trade value $75k (11k miles)

Overall very happy with the deal and new ride. Now it's time to make it as fast as the car I let go.

Yes, the hardware is a direct swap. The tune, not so much.

Quite a few '13s you have gone through. "13" must be a lucky number for you after all!

What about joining us here instead?! It sure will be way easier than trying to change a country's taxation policy.

No kidding, believe me the thought crossed my mind as I gave up the old car. So far the new ride feels very strong for stock, but may just be the PP adds more oomph than I expected.

I plan to do some baseline testing on the dyno and at the next airstrip event to tell for sure.
