Hello, nice to meet everyone.

I joined the forum last year to learn about E63 S wagons. I have read through many of the forum archives and learned so much about these cars. Thanks to all the great contributors here.

I am now actively shopping for the right E63 S wagon. Sadly many are neglected or being sold by sketchy used car dealerships with no service history.

This is something I plan to keep for many years, so I want to find a well-maintained example.

I am a enthusiast. To me, every car has a story. I am looking for a car that has been enjoyed by a fellow enthusiast and is now ready for the next chapter in its story. The chapter I am writing will include:

• road trips around the pacific northwest
• visiting state and national parks
• Silver State Classic Challenge
• hauling books for local library
• relaxing drives in the countryside listening to jazz music

If you are an enthusiast whose E63 S wagon needs a new home, let's connect. I would love to make a new friend and facilitate a smooth transaction. Open to all US-spec cars.

Thank you,
täglich

No thank you. I prefer the styling of the previous generation. I’m sure your 2023 is a lovely car. Enjoy it in good health. 🌼

Thank you, san!

Yes that is the event. I participated many years ago and have always wanted a car that could get me there in comfort.

There are similar events in other parts of the country:

Nebraska - Sandhills Open Road Challenge
Texas - Big Bend Open Road Race

Where are you located and what is your budget/criteria? I looked for a very long time all over the US before recently purchasing a dolomite brown 2014.

täglich

Location: I am searching nationwide. The car will ultimately live in Pacific Northwest.
Budget: Flexible.
Criteria: Distronic Plus. Flexible on everything else.

I am not in a rush.

I usually keep cars for a very long time, so I want one that has been properly maintained.

Unique colors tend to resonate with me.

You should start a thread about your Dolomite wagon!

If you can hold off, should be selling my wagon in August since I'm relocating to Asia.

It'll be cheap, since it's high mileage (120k currently), but in good condition, oil analysis every change, never modded, etc.

täglich

@AngryScotsman my timeframe is flexible. I am not afraid of a car with higher miles if it has been maintained. Sending you a PM so we can chat offline.

Shahul.Usman@MBofRichmond

Ive worked for Mercedes for twelve years and we have never traded in a E63 wagon... I think people hang on to them and they just hold so much more value and sell on all the new BAT/Cars&bids sites they have now

I can definitely let you know if we trade one or I see one at auctions

This dude been bumping the thread for ever looking for an ultrarare E63S Wagon for ever

So today, I thought let me just see how serious this guy is and sent him a message that I am not looking to sell mine but if he could make me an offer I can't refuse, it's yours

The guy forgot my E63s has 48K miles
White/black interior (a rare combo indeed)
Fidelity extended platinum warranty for 2+ more years (no claim in 3 years)
Dealer serviced
All original paint
PPF and ceramic coated
Ceramic brakes (bought with 10K miles- total 15K miles) and brand new OEM brake pads
Velose Forged black wheels with almost new MPSS (less than 5K miles)
Lowered

So, Instead of making me an offer the guy replies back " waste of time"?

Not sure what he has in mind by making this WTB ad but this is not how you respond to a PM

You need to be realistc with how rare these wagons are and you can't really ***** much when one does pops up for sale

So to folks who're thinking about selling their wagon's, please don't waste your time with this tool.

PeterUbers

waste of time as in
- to make an offer on a car not for sale, so why bother since he would have to highball the offer?
- Or waste of time because your car isn't to his specs/liking?

Not arguing .... just confused

Faast

Not sure, people make a WTB post when they can't find what they are looking for and hoping someone would see the post and would contact them about selling their car. I won't have looked for high price either but would have considered at least a reasonable price, the dude lost out on a great trouble free rare wagon.

I would love to hear why only reply "Waste of time" and not even ask a single question about the car or the price? I am sure he would come up with a good answer LOL

Make me an offer I can't refuse is a car lingo meaning, make me a resonable offer and not a KBB value, that's all it is

täglich

Facts
Faast sent me a Private Message about their wagon. They did not tell me color, or options, or VIN, or location, or price.
They did say "have no intention of selling" and "wondering how bad you want it" and "Asking price: make me an offer I can't refuse."

I replied: waste of time

Now Faast posts in this thread to impugn my character?

I stand by my reply.

Thanks for the free bump.

AngryScotsman

Weird. My experience with him was one of the better car buying/selling experiences I've had. Responsive, realistic, knowledgeable, transparent.

Unfortunately, my wagon wasn't what he was looking for, but was a good experience.

I agree 100%. Tagish is a passionate enthusiast who has reached out to the community in attempt to locate a nice wagon currently for sale that meets his criteria. he and I have adult conversations daily regarding his search and I'm doing the best I can to try to help locate his dream car. That's what this forum is supposed to be all about. In addition, there's nothing "ultra rare" about a white 63. He specifically mentioned his interest in unique color combinations. I personally looked at five white wagons in eight months before purchasing my dolomite brown 2014.
