Thinking of placing the order for E63S,

Wife says no Wagon ( we have a SUV as well)

My heart says Wagon

What is more desirable in the long run? thinking of keeping it for a while.

bobblehead

who is driving the car most of the time ? If it is you, get whatever you want; if it's hers, then get a sedan.

Cyberbug

Good point - I will be driving and drooling over and cleaning mostly (90%)

But what has more resale sedan or wagon - just in case if things change in future.

Will be financing

Want to be sure I make a good decision so I can be happy over all.

I know she will be happier with a sedan

Also bummed that CF console does not support NFC charging

bobblehead

cannot say ... it all depends on your local market.

I am in Canada, my sales advisor told me the wagon is not in strong demand, hence the resale value (trade in value as well) will be about 5-10% worse than a sedan. Typical buyers in my region are looking for CUV/SUV type, rather than wagon. For me, I intend to order a wagon anyway ... just for pure love of the look and utility.

Searched the forum and did some googling, it seems the wagon costs a lot more to insure, its 9th most expensive to insure, sedan is not mentioned in the top 10.

I am thing it will cost $2400-$3500 to insure, clean record, married, no kids, too old

I already got quoted for insurance using 2016 model year (e63s wagon) as reference. Mine would be around $1850 cdn a yr. $300 more than my current cuv

Cyberbug

That's great , thank you. I will call my insurance company tomorrow.

Wife still says sedan ��

I haven't ruled out the wagon yet either... There are a few things that keep steering me back to the sedan. The wagon cost more (granted not a lot but enough to cut into the cost of the CCBs or something else semi-important). The W212 vs. S212 pricing (I think this was the final pricing) was $101,700 vs. $105,225 (+$3,525).

All of the published performance numbers show the wagon a second slower than the sedan (3.4s vs. 3.3s). This is most likely a fraction of a second difference, but there must be hard evidence that the wagon is slower.

I wasn't aware of the insurance differences... that also stinks.

It's a tenth slower and it's due to the curb weight most likely. Wagon is a 154 lbs heavier than the sedan based on the DOG specs. 4669 lbs (Wagon) vs. 4515 lbs (Sedan).

I would go for the wagon as you may literally have one of a kind with the right option combination. They are just so rare!

Cyberbug

I know man but every time I mention it to the wife she says No to the wagon at least she doesn't say no to the car

bobblehead

Tell your wife it's a sportback.

I would get Sedan. I think it looks better. The Wagon looks massive. And that extra 154lb weight is like carry an extra person in the car all the time.

In addition the market for wagons is small. I think you would have a harder time selling it, and resale value would be worse

Wagons have bigger rear seat headroom. Other than that, it'll be a more unique car.

Wow, I'm surprised at the comments on here. It must be slow on this subforum...

High performance wagons normally have a very strong cult-like following (me included). Very popular to have a wagon that kicks butt. The E AMG wagons normally command a significant premium over the sedans on the used market.

grocery getter

agree...sedans are dime a dozen. I waited a while for my w212 wagon and love it. The only problem with selling them is waiting for the right person to buy it. Just my 2 cents...

baybombers

Love the thought of a high performance wagon. The ultimate street sleeper.

Astolfo

Dead on I do not know the ratio but finding an AMG wagon in the PNW is pretty rare. Sedans all the time

Cyberbug

Wife got to see the E-400 today she liked it, we got c-300 4matic sport with all the options to go with the GLK. So wagon should be in near future.

Personally, audi rs6 and c63s wagon are the only 2 wagons that actually look nice.

e63s seem way too excessively long n not in proportion.

Astolfo

But when you can't get either then you get the E63s, albeit a bit too large I like wagon better than a car.

Munich77

Congrats be sure to post a picture when you get one!

I personally am jacked for the wagon. I drive a tuned Audi S6 which was great initially but now there are a lot of them out there. The wagon will be unique. Plus i have 4 kids and will enjoy the usefullness of the wagon

I love wagons, so my vote is for wagon.
