Default C63 anyone?

Man, the price of these have dropped a lot since it came onto my radar last year. I was car shopping w/ my girlfriend at Fletcher Jones and the car can be had for near invoice. I want to see any fellow lexus owner's got one and can give me feedback on the car - and of course problems with it. Thaks

gorgeous car...i just cant aford it.

but i bought in october a C350, and so far its been a really good experience. you really forget the feel that different cars can give. the Merc feels really solid, the doors have a proper clunk, and no rattles what so ever. Its been a problem free experience for the past three months. plus, the car is so gorgeous that you feel like a million bucks driving it

Ive driven the SL 63 AMG. The motor is just incredible. I can just imagine how it would feel on a C-Klasse.

c350 is a POS... i have the saks fifth edition... cant wait for the lease to end on it.. when u slam the trunk it sounds like a honda.. no memory seat/mirror function.. side mirrors dont tilt down when in reverse... so many "basic" options that are not even offered. but then again what do u expect with mercedes entry line. c63 is nice.. but personally.. not worth the price...

Me and my girl test drove one in december. It was just a fun car to drive. The sales guy was just a douche though. They wanted quite a bit more then invoice and did not want to budge on the price. On top of that everyone in that Mercedes Dealership is so snobby. That night we test drove the C63,M3, RS4 (Im an audi fanatic, also own a B5S4 stg3+) The price for the me was just way to much, I would of just slapped some more money down and get a GTR or ZO6. The RS4's fit and finish was amazing as usual for audi. But it was hard for it to compete with our current audi in the stable. I have to mention though Audi's customer service is hands down the best. No snobby attitude, some of the guys working there actually race on track, and there was no pressure what so ever to buy. I still want to test drive the new CTS-V.

As with ALL AMG cars....just wait till the miles get around 50k, then see what starts happening. I guarantee, you'll wanna get rid of it.

Yup I felt the pain with that one. Got rid of our w211 E around 55k. Crap just started to pop up out of no where. I do not keep my cars that long, well except for this stupid S4 I have it just does not want to part with me.lol

it's such a tough choice right now. C63, M3, and GT-R. While at the dealership, we spotted a used CLK63. They wouldn't let me test drive it. Any experiences with the CLK63?

Thats the black edition right? If it is, then that thing looks sick.
