Depreciation. Wow!!
Hi All,
New/old to the forum. Used to lurk a few years ago. Now in the market for an E63 S. Found a virtually new non-S 2014 for $78,000. That is kick in the wallet.

There's no demand for non-S.
That car probably stickered for $93K, likely sold for $88-89K. Doesn't seem like that bad depreciation for a vehicle that should not have been offered for sale in the first place.IMO.

Essentially a new 2014 non s that is hands down a superior performance car to the e550 which would sticker new for $75-78k nicely loaded ... Plus I think this mct is superior to the crap 7g tronic traditional transmission of the e550
Id take that car for $74k before ttl

2019 E63 S
The funny part is that if you tune the car it makes exactly the same amount of power whether it started off as an S or not. The big performance difference to me is the non-S lacks the limited slip differential although it was an option for 2014. It will not be an option for 2015. I could not envision tuning the car to 700 hp and not having a limited slip differential and given that the torque split is so heavily biased toward the rear at 67%.

the NON S gets a bad rap.......its basically the 2012/13 performance pack motor tune
i guess u dont get the lsd, but unless your tracking the car, your getting a heck of deal

Per the 2014 DOG, the LSD (Option code 471) was N/A for the base E63.
Nor will it be available for 2015.

2017 AMG GTS
im not saying its not worth it to tune it, buttt Benz shouldve never split the two into S and non S....for a mere 7k the S is worth it to many buyers who want the little things like embossed head rest, an inhouse tune basically, LSD, body changes, different standard wheels. I think they shouldve just made one car that was the S and not offer the non S. But if i were in the market for a 14 AMG, i would save the 30k from a new one and get the one that the OP posted!!

Isn't that car blue and has 300 miles on it?
Either way that is a great deal if you plan on tune + LSD as others mentioned.
I'm in the market too but looking for a white one with all CF goodies

Good price now... But you gotta consider resale in a few years ... Easier to unload an S with a more popular color ...

non s
to s model, maybe it is just me.I felt the immediacy and i asked a few people
about it and they said the torque starts at about 200 rpm earlier.He
could be right i am not sure.This is why i have this non s and i do not really
care about resale i bought this car for keeps.To each his own.

Let me ask this...
If you tune a NON S and you tune an S
At the end of the day does their hp and torque match?
Or you CAN tune a non S and get gains, but you can't tune an S as there isn't anything else to gain?
Then my question would be... for those who want an inhouse tune with warranty... spend the $7k.

No, I do not believe ours did.
If you tune an S and a NON S their final numbers will be the same.

The clear advantage to me was $7k extra and I got a warranty b2b from Benz and elw warranty with the hp/tq bump for the s model. The LSD was a factor as well but in reality a guy like me will never appreciate it.
