My 2c:
Nice 16% discount. Given this is (soon to be) two years old model and dealer must be eager to get it off their lot, at least 20% off MSRP should be a fair deal.

I considered a E450. Drove it and even placed an order for ED. Ended up cancelling it. I knew I would always regret not getting the E63S. Now that I have had the E63S for a year I can say I have zero regrets and every time I drive it I'm impressed by it. Life only goes around once. If you can afford it buy it.

Get it! Not sure if this may relate, but my 2019 E63S Wagon was the first car anywhere near this price point. Part of the rationale was like above - you only live once. However another bit of rationale was - some of the other cars I was looking at were not cheap either, and as considering other cars I found myself pricing chips, sports exhausts, suspension items, etc. (on what was already 2/3 of the price of the E63 - and still would never be half of what you get with the 63). This is the first car I knew I do not need or want to do anything to it (even the stock stereo in the AMG is awesome). Finally, how many times have you tried to settle for something and you end up wishing you just spent the extra $ to get what you want. The last rationale is that I have always kept my cars for a long time which makes the purchase price easier to swallow - and this is where I stay a little torn,... I like the car but do I really want to own it for 10+ years (I thought I would but maintenance horror stories concern me a bit). I also know that an extended warranty is an option but for some reason they about doubled in price from the 2018,.. and that will only get me to 7 years - I will probably chance it till 7 and may sell much sooner. Good luck - you will not regret the purchase, but looking at other cars you might be satisfied with will change forever

I agree,all valid points...Just what i needed...Thanks...Looks like nothing can replace true AMG experience... Money is important but not crucial in this case...

I pulled the trigger on a similar brand new 2019 E63S back around Memorial Day. The car had been on the lot awhile and I was able to negotiate 20% off MSRP. These deals will not last long. At that discount, it is a no-brainer, because even with the AMG depreciation, the care will be worth more than I owe on it in 2-3 years. Anything beyond that is gravy! The car is fabulous, puts a smile on my face every day, and turns heads from those in-the-know everywhere I go. Make the deal and don’t look back!
