  • The 2021 Mercedes-AMG E63 S 4MATIC+ ($139,777 CAD, ~$136,300 USD) has been facelifted for this year, and offers a tantalizing mixture of road presence and driving exhilaration. But in terms of value, this comparatively understated 2010 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG only cost the owner ($25,000 CAD, ~$20,650 USD) earlier this year. Which would you choose? SUBSCRIBE!!!

    Been driving my 2009 SL63AMG Since the day I bought it. 94,000 Miles, tires cost a lot, but other than regular maintenance, only $4,000 has been spent in 11 years for broken parts. I change the oil every 6,000 miles, but it was a great investment, $135,000 in 2009, and when I get gas, people still think it's a $135,000 car. I won't sell it for $50,000, I just love it that much. The M156 motor is the last of the great V8's. I will never again be able to buy a 550 HP NA V8 Motor, that sounds like a 427 Cobra, with MB SL Quality.

    Reading the comments brought tears to my eyes. The W212 E 63 is ever so graceful and endulges with the true essence of it's heritage. The 2010 AMG has aged SUPERBLY!! This generation of Mercedez came with a bang!! The proof is in the pudding, and the proof is in the 6.2 V8's!!!! Can we even talk about the design language... I mean man... this car has aged SO WELL!!!! This is inclusive of its group!! I wish I could take it back to 2010 when that older generation was the state of the art. That N/A engine and it's raw sound is just eye catching!! 🥲🥲 What a marvel and being able to understand and be apart of the generational change, but I will stay stuck in the 2010 gen!!

    W212 design is ageless and in my eyes superior to any of the latter MBs. The engine (AMG version) sounds superb as well and interior is pretty classic. Could afford either of these and would still pick the older one. The new one has a beautiful front (reminds me of the modern version of SLK300 which according to many is the most beautiful MB ever designed) but somehow looks like a soap box, so I doubt it will stand the test of time like W212.

    Honestly it doesn't cost much more to maintain it than any other luxury vehicle. I have had 2010 E550 (V8) for 6 years now. Just normal maintenance. I turned off all the electronic features (lane assist, memory steering wheel/seats, stuff like that) because i know electronics in these cars go wrong. The steering wheel motor that moves it up and down went bad and i haven't replaced it since i don't even move the wheel.
    The only other issues i've had is that after pushing the car for a few weeks one summer, the pulley/serpentine belt started to make noise which i was disappointed with. I thought german engineering would be better then that. So I have to replace that, it's not bad but it's something.
    And brake line got rusted and started leaking. Understandable because i'm in Canada but still....after 10-11 years, these cars shouldn't get that rusty that brakes are compromised. I don't even drive it much in winter/snow.
    Apart from that, just regular maintenance. I know the air suspension can go bad and leak, but from all my research that was mostly from people going over hard bumps consistently, so i try to avoid bumps/potholes or go over them slowly.
    LASTLY, gas consumption is definitely more in city but highway drive it's not bad at all. My avg consumption after 6 years is 12.5L/100 Km (shows in the car). It's about 2x more than the new cars now that average 6-7L/100 KM.
    Then again, this car is not my daily driver. So ultimately, you have to know why you're buying such a car and have to research what problems can go wrong with it. If it's your daily driver and you are going to put lots of mileage on it, then obviously prepare to spend a lot on gas and maintenance.
    I got a good deal on it 6 years ago and if i was to sell my car now, i can recover 60-70% of the car cost (not the repair, gas & maintenance cost obviously that's sunk cost).
    I hope this comment helps someone.
    Clearly people are scared to own cars like these but if you do your research and budget for the car , you will be fine.
    Take advantage of the fact nobody wants to own these older cars and find yourself an older E550/63 or a CLS550 etc. The older V8's are very cheap cars now. They are selling for as much as older honda accords here in Canada. It's crazy the perception of people on cars like these and the fear of "gas consumption".
    The gas consumption compared to an older V6 sedan or especially a V6 SUV, is like 15% more.

    Nothing is more expensive as a ‘cheap’ Mercedes, but they can be a lot of fun if you’re willing to get your hands dirty! I paid around $12k for a W211 E55 AMG with good maintenance records and spent another $2k in fluids, filters and bushings to get the maintenance items addressed and with with mild mods, it has around 550whp, with no reliability issues. I do my own work and maintenance costs a few hundred bucks a year using FCP Euro, which has a lifetime warranty on everything they sell. EVERYTHING. It has adjustable coilovers, a trans control unit and good tires and with its power, it feels like a much newer car and it’s old enough that many think it’s just any other 20 year old commuter E class. As Roger Moore said in Cannonball Run, ‘Why advertise?’ 😉👍

    The older one is nice, and for a nice sensible price as well. The brand new one most probably you would finance, the older one could buy outright for cash and honestly own the car.

    Mercedes is just a blast to drive. I agree the m5 and rs6 are amazing, but something about them is missing a little crazy.
