After 10 years I've finally bought a c63. I got a p31 with 22000 miles on the clock. Mint condition. I pick up this Friday and I can't sleep. Finally a c63 owner
Congrats bruddah! I’ve been w my cla45 for a little over a year now stage 2, cosmetics all that and want this car next and want to do a full fbo build and black series kit. Not to mimick a bs but I love the looks of it so much I’ll keep this car forever as history and get another daily down the road. U have social media showing her?
I bought a 2012 Mercedes-Benz cls 63 amg one owner 62432 miles!! I brought it to Mercedes-Benz and had them look it over that cost me $197 and they told me that the car was in great shape. I love the car it’s a beast!! Good luck
Don't feel bad about that fuel mileage. While I will be in the market for a car like this within the next 6-12 months, I currently drive a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 4.0 inline six. While it is a reliable engine, it made less than 200hp new (even less than that now, in 2023 with 148k on the clock), and I average 13.3 MPG with about 60-70% surface street driving and 30-40% freeway driving. Next time you think about how you hate the fuel efficiency, think about it like this. There are people out there driving cars with ~60% *_less_* power than a C63 AMG, and still getting *_worse_* mpg. My personal philosophy is that, if I'm going to get 10-15mpg, it better make enough power to justify it, and unlike my Jeep, the C63 AMG makes enough power to justify getting 10-15mpg.
Had mine two weeks,2013 black coupe,64000 miles, Have to say I love it,fuel is heavy but such a great car,double edged bonkers or cruiser, I'm 51 and drive like an old fanny most of the time but I love the sound when I step on it. Sures it old technology but what a machine.
Just got a 2012 c63 edition 1 couple weeks ago. 1 of 100 matte black coupe. 19k miles one owner. Literally like brand new. Paid 44.4k. A little over but still worth it to me. Depreciation is done.
@@stephaneprivate1013said the wierdo who clearly started forming a sentence before finish reading the comment. Dont do drugs if your iq count is on the clock lmao
Thats because you only driven it and not owned it, I did own one and the fuel consumption is just retarded, I expected it ofc after having different M/// cars and fast Audi's but my s204 c63's consumption was just retarded, 110euro for a full gastank anbd did 300km with it. They also have many issues if you are unlucky, you litteraly have to hope yours doesnt have them. It's a beast of a car but thats about it.
@@seanpang1119Fuel consumption also doesn't matter when you're making more than 400hp AND torque. If it's going to get 10-15mpg, it better be fast enough to justify it.
10,000 MILES DO NOT WARRANT AN EXPERT ON A C63 , LET ALONE SPINNING THE WHEELS OF A 6208cc ENGINED BEAST THAT BY THE WAY : I HAVE OWNED FOR 7+ YEARS AND 85,000 MILES WITH IT!!!
Also, the suspension aint comfy at all, literally every reviewer said so and all press cars were delivered on 18 inch wheels because the 19 inch wheels made it feel like you were riding on wooden wheels it's that hard. I had one so can confirm it's not even close to a comfortable car, the Lotus exige s2 I had was more comfortable.
@@Sideways_Singh not it's not, not even close thats what I'm saying. No joke my Lotus s2 was more comfortable than that even with me literaly sitting on the floor in a bucketseat with hardly any padding.
@@swansmeister I've had a 2012 c63 coupe with 19" wheels for 8 years now. Purely compared to other cars I have or currently own, I can say it's noticeably more comfortable (and much less tyre noise) than a 911 c2S gen 1. Compared to a 2014 BMW330d Msport it has a noticeably harder ride. You dont really notice at speed, but in town over pot holes its definitely not plush!
I bought mine 2 weeks ago, 13 plate 54k miles. I had a look at the pulleys and crank pulley and they look like they’ve never been replaced Would you recommend getting them changed although there is no noise coming from them? The crank pulley does look really rusty personally I’m looking at getting it replaced…
Had my 2014 white coupe 14 months now,love it I get 27.5 on a run which is not bad at all.i also had the secondary decat done makes a nice difference. I usually get itchy feet with cars after about a year but not with this I dont ❤❤
How much would you recommend to keep back incase of repairs and for maintenance? Also would a CLA 45 be a lot cheaper to maintain? No problem if you don’t know
Get a well maintained one, and service and maintenance is like any other sports car. Engine Service (6-12 months), gearbox service (3 years), differential service (3-5 years I think), tyres (once a month)
I've been spending the better part of 2 months now researching the W204 C63, the Lexus ISF, the 2nd Gen CTS-V, and the E92/E93 M3. Since all four of those cars cost around the same, and all of them have strong highpoints and low points, I simply can not decide which route I want to take. Everytime I learn something new I get pulled into one direction or another, and at the end of the day I NEVER know which one I would go for. That said, based on everything I've seen *so far,* the BMW seems to be the best driving experience, but at the cost of risking being stranded due to catastrophic engine failure, the C63 has the best exhaust sound, and torque is pretty much on demand, but the fuel octane recommended by MB isn't even sold in my state, meaning every tank of gas needs a bottle of octane booster if I want 93 octane in a state that doesn't sell it, and LOTS of research is required to find one that hasn't been treated like shit or poorly maintained over 50k-150k miles. The ISF seems to be the most reliable but isn't necessarily the best in *_any one_* specific department (aside from reliability marks), but *_is_* the most *_well-rounded_* car of the line-up, which would be good (possibly the best) for an evwry-day driver, and the CTS-V, while being the heaviest car of the four, it is also the only one that's packaged with a supercharger, and could be argued as having the most comfortable ride of the 4, even if only by a small margin. That said, whatever issues these cars may have, there has been enough time for the manufacturer, _and the aftermarket_ to address, and find solutions to these problems. Find the reliability issues with the E9x M3 scary and don't want to deal with them? Find one that's had the throttle actuator and rod bearings fixed. Find the headbolt and overheating issue with the C63 daunting? Upgrade the cooling, and find one that's had the headbolts issue addressed and fixed. Find the steering in the ISF numb? There's a multi-faceted solution that's worth investing in Find the heat soak issue on the CTS-V annoying? You can replace the stock hood with a vented hood, and you can upgrade the cooling. There is not ONE single known issue with ANY of these cars that DOESN'T have a solution available to them. There's a lot more I could say here but I think you get my point. For myself, I'm just going to have to test drive each and every one of those four cars before I can finally decide which one I actually decide to buy. It's hard for me now because *_all four_* of those cars are a dream car for me.
Only reason I dropped buying these is no manual trans option. Flipping paddles is boring and not the same experience. Sure auto tech is much faster than manuals these days but true enthusiasts don’t care. Mercedes and Audi keeps dropping the ball on this. At least bmw still offers manual for most of the M flagship cars.
The suspension is setup for drifting and hard driving not comfort 🤣🤣, thats how u know this guy just drives in a straight line and goes with the sterotypes

I’m 18 and I’ve been dreaming of getting one since I was 12
I got 3 years and still gonna keep till broken
YOU MIND TO SHARE HOW MUCH YOU PAID FOR IT?
Congratulations bro!!! Clean title or not? What did you pay for it?

Own a 2013. Maintenance is simple accept for the transmission fluid change. Plugs, oil, brakes, differential fluid are simple.
I bought a 2012 Mercedes-Benz cls 63 amg one owner 62432 miles!! I brought it to Mercedes-Benz and had them look it over that cost me $197 and they told me that the car was in great shape. I love the car it’s a beast!! Good luck
Nice :)
it's been 4 months now, how is the suspension holding up?
9month update
1 year update. How much you spent for maintenance?
2 years update brother :)
if im not wrong, the pre facelift had a TCT (Torque convertor) and your facelift has the MCT (Multi Clutch)

Re-advised? 🤷♂️
where do u recommend buying one?
I'm surprised that anyone is able to even get one with such low miles. . . All i see are 90k + miles in USA . wtffff
Well covered. Love the monster that it is.
How reliable are these especially in 2021

Then let's leave comfort to the E and S classes...
Obviously its not a rolls royce its a sports car, but for a sports car its a pretty good ride.

I personally would. Not a nice experience when the belt falls of mid drive. For the sake of a few hundred quid. It’s worth it

Did you get it done? The previous owner of mine went.. Did £6k of damage!😅

U can get a manual swapped in, theres shops that do it to these cars n its been done
@@Sideways_Singhanything is possible but is it worth it over buying an already manual car is to ask.

How much did you get the car for, if you don't mind me asking
30k
Sounds like a tractor
