I Drove a 2011 Mercedes C63 AMG and was SHOCKED by its Value! - Review

- The 2011 Mercedes Benz C63 AMG is one of our favorite cars due to how much performance you get for the price. With a 6.2L naturally aspirated V8 engine that's good for 451hp and 443 lbs-ft of torque, this car is roughly as fast as the exotics of this era, yet costs around 1/4 of the price. We've featured the 2011 C63 AMG with the P31 package on this channel before, so its definitely interesting to see how a normal 2011 C63 stacks up to it.
CHECK OUT OUR C63 AMG REVIEW WITH THE P31 PACKAGE:

I just bought a 2011 C63 AMG P31 with 53K clean bone stock with all service records in a binder for $22,500.
Hell of a deal on car with a sticker price of 80K. Impressed to say the least.
I bought mine last summer with 52thousand on it, and I also paid the same, love my car, fast and loud, enjoy it, you'll get head turners and thumbs up
Fuck me they are cheap in the US. They go for about 50-70k here in aus
Jarred Wilkinson bro I found one for like $28k in melbs that’s the lowest I can find
I’m looking at a 2014 C63, I’ve been (researching) reading that these cars are money pits? I’m seriously considering purchasing the vehicle. Can any Mercedes enthusiasts help?
@@christiansamm1582 yeah but the ones in Melbourne have like 120 - 150,000km who knows that's wrong with the engines and it's probably gonna cost another 10k to get it back to working order
These are better than the m3. More low end torque, and mainly these are so much more reliable. Literally leagues better in reliability.
GhettoMist right. the first gen has some engine problems but other than that? bulletproof
Much prefer the previous gen E55 or later E63 with the 5.5 twin turbo. Drove these C63 and was unimpressed.
@@dylan4972 you were impressed by a e55 but not a c63? lol
@@vSmitezzdN absolutely the way you have to ring it out to get anything from it I just didn't like I have a very fast track car so don't want another one for the road and prefer the power delivery of the E55 just feels so much better.
Yes. Yes yes. Mercedes has slipped in quality control over the decades but generally the working parts are made to last, lest their reputation be tarnished. If anything, the switchgear feels cheap, but lasts. Maintenance can be expensive but replacing high quality parts is expensive.
Good review dude.
I would really enjoy the exhaust system on my weekly commute. I drive through at least six nice length tunnels. :D
What a beast of a car and the w204 is just gorgeous. Collectors item.
Once I saw the West Van, I hit the like button!
When you’re a passenger you don’t know when the car’s going to accelerate. As a driver you do and lean forward to compensate. That may be the reason you get sucked into your seat more as a passenger.
6:10 - the facelift (W204.2) had a wet multi-clutch automatic transmission handed down from the E class, not a dual-clutch.
With the performance pack you also get the limited slip diff which makes a huge difference.
With the P31, the LSD was an option, whereas the P30, I believe the LSD was standard. My 2013 P31 does not have LSD.
@@kjdeutin Correct! :) The LSD used to be standard in the P30/prefacelift (until 2011) while it became an option in the P31/facelift (in and after 2011). What a lot of people forget or don't know is that the performance variants also have an additional oil-cooler in the right front of the car. Besides that the inlet manifold is painted in dark grey.
06:10 it's actually not true that the Facelift has a Dual Clutch Transmission. It's called MCT (Multi Clutch Transmission) and is not at all a Dual Clutch. It's also quite reliable.
12:18 it's also not true that the headbolt issue is a pre-facelift one. It's determined by your engine number. There are late pre-facelift cars that are out of the problematic number range. But you're definitely completely safe if you have a facelift. Then there's still the cam adjuster and lifter/cam lobe issues. I'd suggest a buyer to demand hearing a cold start (telling the seller to not drive the car and leave it completely cold until buyer arrives)! But over all still a reliable performance car.
For someone who is selling this car, Sam keeps praising the BMW?? It's almost as if he is saying don't buy this car. First time I've ever heard a car dealer degrading a car he is selling.
I just bought one on Sunday. I love it
Congrats, it maybe gonna be a childish question but is it realy realy fast or just fast because I have a Lotus s2 en I am going to sell it, well it's practically sold and tomorow going to look at a c63 and probably buy it. I just need it to be fast and practical. The one I am going to look at had a secondary miltek cat delete and backbox, bmc airfilter and ecu remap now pushing out 530hp and 660nm.
@@swansmeister thank you. No, it’s not a "childish" question. It’s fast, hopefully you get a low mileage C63? If you do get it! Make sure the maintenance is good and check for the main issues like headbolt issues and lifters. The C63 is a solid car. Secondary cat delete wakes the car and sounds good 👌🏼nice! My car should be pushing the same.
@@jaddenmp how much did you pay for it?
@@wordlife_97 I paid 20k for the W204 C63.
The guy to the left was awesome
Only issue is the head bolts? What about the camshaft failures? The stuck bucket/lifter failures, the intake manifold failures? Possibly the fuel injector failures. I love me a mercedes but don’t fool yourself thinking a M156 is an M113.
Very true, I honestly didn't know about its faults at the time, other than head-bolts for the pre-2011 models. I guess time has told whether or not this a well built engine, and there's definitely a few faults to them... too bad considering how good they sound.
West Van Garage agreed. It’s sad really. Not saying you can’t build a nice m156 but you’re looking at some coin to get it there. Still a lot of car for the money. Used c63 ~$18,000 another 5 in cams, lifters, motor mounts ect.. (provides you do the work yourself )add 10 for a weistec charger.
@@suddendilemma5137 Wouldnt all the headbolt failures have occurred already - the prefacelift cars are 10 years old by now
beyondthelol nah not really there are a lot of prefacelift cars out there with around 100k on them or less. But keep in mind it didn’t effect them all it’s a bit of a dice roll. I’d be more nervous of cam failure and cam phaser.
@@suddendilemma5137 i think the issue with the headbolts is they corrode so milage on the cars is irrelevant
How much do the coupes come out to be
Had 08 E90 M3 sedan with 6 speed and now 08 C63. Never looked back, sure the m3 handled better but the lack of low end torque and clunky Getrag transmission did no justice to the car.
Nice car
I swear theres a different front grill on the performance pack and comp back am I right??
Of course there is no body roll in the "corner". It's German performance.
i saw a couple of c63 (s) for under 20k with about 90k miles on it. Should I buy it?
Kamikaze e30 I’m pretty sure they last up to 200k miles, my moms Benz is 2007 and it has over 220k miles on it, I can’t imagine this one
buy lexus ISF
Just make sure it had the head bolt issue fixed early on or it's a post head bolt issue car.
Yes
Just make sure you dig into the CarFax most of them have been in an accident but you can’t tell they look clean
Should I buy a C63 AMG? I have a beater already. But I’m only 20... so I don’t know if this is a good decision... also I live in the Midwest where it snows... so it would only be a summer car.
When your 20 years old you dont think about it. If you can afford it you buy it.
@@UA-camCommentator. fully agree i plan on buying a c63 as soon i turn 18, if it would make you happier why not? go for it
Fuck. I'm over trying to get a modded black 2011 c300 sport with the amg kit for $8,000. You guys talking the c63 over here.
This is definitely a 2010. The 2010 C classes had the circular bumper lights, the 2011 had the LED strip and the 2012 had the LED strip with the new angled headlights and LED taillights. This is 100% a 2010 C63
Mercedes......... Simply the best.
What’s the tic,toc, that we ear almost all along the video ??? it’s not always there be we ear the sound often ?
Its the paddle shifters when the driver pulls them
price car for me?
GOOD SHITE!
It's more Sophisticated (BMW) O My?
You guys need to be a little more lively. Especially Mitch. He seems blah and makes me not wanna watch the vids. Throttle house and straight pipes guys are way more engaging and fun.
In finlad you would still have to pay at least 60k on that car
Maria m best thing about america is that everything about cars is about as cheap as it gets anywhere in the world
rather get the turbo of the next year.
Why are there so many holes in the inside of the hood! i don't like holes, even if i came out of one, Help!
Abdullah Z ventilation, anyone ? It’s to get the heat out. Oh, I’m sorry, those are rust holes and will ruin the engine with rusty water. They are for filling up the gas tank. These are special and the gas tank fills through the carburetor. Only race gas 80 octane. The holes are there to stash the owners manual and service record. Holes in the hood are just to show you where to cut for that tunnel ram intake that sticks up two feet above the hood. That adds -200 HP.
@@andrewhigdon8346 Thats kinda hot
What cops are dwelling on top of whatever the hell mountain yall on
Mercedes and porsche are the only German brands to buy that last and provide excellent power! Any AMG is better than a M model, BMW is notorious for breaking down. Audi is a joke when it comes to any sort of reliability.
Click bait, I went to the site they said the car for sale was and it wasn’t there
You’re a few years too late
La C63 è soltanto automatica
Mentre la M3 è anche manuale ed in pista è avvantaggiata
Date alla AMG gomme premium e andate in pista contro una M3 automatica e vedrete quale è più performante
Certo che prima dovete imparare a fare le curve
20k id by a low mileage E55 for less then this car and still looks 10x better then this car and will beat the brakes of of this easliy. I miss the double front lights.
Can't argue there, the w211 E55 is a great car :)
E55 with airmatic suspension problems and abs problems...... No thanks
@@_._._._._._._._ You put coilovers and don't buy one with abs problems??
@@_._._._._._._._ abs issue is a free fix by Mercedes btw, it has a +20 year warranty on that! The M113K is unrivaled if your talking reliability. E55 has more torque and by only doing a stage 1 electronic tune you get the same hp as the E63, the torque is waaay more than the E63 without even a tune. The only difference is the W211 E63 has a 7-speed while the E55 has a 5-speed. But then again the E55 transmission can handle up to 1000nM without failing. It's truly a german engineered beast.
@@excusemeforbeingsorry yes but the 5 speed shifts so incredibly slow I can't stand it but I love the e55
It’s a he not she
This is Daimler Benz
You obviously have not owned one for long, get rid of them before 80 k as they are a complete nightmare in financial repairs, a great car is never a short term performance car
Not true. These are extremely reliable.
