Hi all,
New to this thread and nice to meet you all.
I currently own a 19 CLA45 (13200mi) but was thinking of trading it in for a 15 E63s (30,000mi).
I would be adding about $8-10k on top based on the offer.
I've always wanted a V8 and know MB will no longer produce the V8 but would this be decent deal?
Any insights about the E63 or this deal would be much appreciated!
Thank you and stay safe!

I'd do it in a heartbeat
I <heart> my E63S - best car ever.
$10k - DO IT!

DO IT, it's a no-brainer!
Absolutely love my car and I'm glad I traded up to it.

More details on the 15 E63 please

FastWgn

Def do that. You will find the E63 to be a much more useful car.
Much more comfortable in Comfort and almost at eager in Sport.
Much more torque and ability to dial up speed in a heartbeat.

Moved up from a C350 to the E63S and I love every minute of it. There isn't a time that have not gotten out of my car without a giant smile on my face. You'll be so much more comfortable in the E too, it's monumentally bigger than the C's are and 2 grown men can sit in the front seats and not touch shoulders. lol Just be aware, it's an AMG- everything is more expensive. Service, parts, etc., gas milage too, I went from 21-22 in my 350 to 17 in the 63. But hey, if you were that concerned with fuel economy, you'd buy a Prius. NOTHING compares to that beefy V8 when you put your foot in it and the turbos spool up- Makes you feel like your 15 and driving your dad's car for the first time again, every time.

Definitely do it if you can swing it! It's an awesome car. Just make sure the one you end up with has a good history (maintenance, wrecks, etc.).

yes do it, Ive considered selling mine, but everytime i drive it in S+ it makes me forget about life and everything else inbetween..its crazy fun! I atleast find that the e63 has multiple personalities based on what drive mode you are in

i would recommend a PPI and make sure to check ecu harness and Cps for any oil

There are about 4 or 5 of these 2015's on AT, (between 26k and 35k miles) one is clearly heavily modified ... front carbon splitters and custom rims and all...

Another seems shady ... the rest worth inspecting.. all
around $60-65k

2016 E63s wagon. Irridium Silver with Designo interior. Not low millage but great car and Unicorn. Let me know if you are interested

Definitely agree with the point of having multiple personalities.

C = cruising around wanting no excitement. Still will hustle if you floor it.

S = where I enjoy driving most of the time. If you need a faster downshift just manual shift with the paddle.

S+ = only when stomping on it as I don't care for the car holding gears when still driving in traffic but want to step on it. Upshifting with the paddles is what I do to deal with the hanging. The downshifts are fun

Driving to work / commuting / highway cruising / ripping it on a winding road ---> it does it all in comfort. Makes for an AMAZING winter car Just crossed 31k miles, put on 25k miles myself.

I am not a fan of the transmission, or the delay in response from the transmission when using the paddles, or the speed of the shifts. Compared to the PDK transmission in the Porsche the transmission in the E36s definitely lacks.

I've got a 2006 E55 with 73k on the clock. Was thinking about the W212 E63, looks so good and I know it's much faster stock v stock. I just love the violent driving characteristics of the E55, it's a monster!

cotmfk

I would just hold that then. If you "need" an E63, add it to the stable, as opposed to replacing. I have a friend who liked that violent nature over the E63 and missed it when changing to the E63.

E55NOVA

Thanks for your input. Might just have to keep it then. One of the most reliable engines Benz has ever produced!

I.T. Guy

I was just at the dealer and talked to my sales guy. All 63 orders all models have been force down graded to 53’s. Said to keep mine, last of an era.

Smoke’m if you got’em!

nyxbrock

yea I was looking into the 15’ with 26k miles

BCP

Likely because AMG isnt producing any V8 models for 2022.

I.T. Guy

Exactly why!

Drone_S213

My salesman told me the exact same thing on my 2021 Wagon. Last week had the battery changed on my Ducati...let it die last August because of new AMG thrills. First service 13 June 2022. In it for the long haul from cradle to my grave...lol

cotmfk

While that was listed as for only 2022, I can't help but wonder if they aren't finished with V8s period. They've already said no more ICE cars beginning 2030. Hmm...

(Either way, any V8 AMG is a "keeper" now...)
