    w204 c63's seem to be holding value

    I did get a lot more interest after the wrap came off and probably could have held on for a slightly better price. But the offer from James Paul Cars was the best of the lot and I couldn't be ****d with the aggro any longer. The fact is, private buyers are often looking at the lower end due to...

    w204 c63's seem to be holding value

    It was wrapped, but it was removed and the car fully detailed and prepped before putting back onto the market. The C63 has dropped its **** I think now. My dealer was explaining to me that the deals on the C43, A45, M140i, 335/340 etc from factory are taking many customers away from used AMGs...

    w204 c63's seem to be holding value

    For your info: Sold my 62 plate PPP Saloon with 34k on the clock on Monday. Most probably the hardest experience in selling a car I've ever had. When I sold my 60 plate PPP saloon (bought for £36k in Dec 2012) in June 2014 it went in less than a week at full ask. £32k with circa 20k on the...

    C63S Break in - Is it necessary?

    The run in period is more for the transmission than the engine and AMG can access all the data to tell if you've carried it out properly should you have an issue. It's your car and it'll likely make not a jot of difference, but there is always that risk. 960 miles or whatever 1500km works out at...

    C63 advice needed

    Maybe the car had been sat for a while and the discs corroded? Could just be a pre sale prep, which given the front discs on the non ppp cars are cheap as chips is no huge ask.

    Don't see many pre facelift c63 pp's nowadays??

    Going fantastic. No issues so far and I'm soon to be having a stage 1 map (590bhp) added. Stock performance puts it quicker than my mapped C63 and it is loosening up with the miles (just short of 2000 done). The most notable thing I can say at the moment is that it so amazingly comfortable on...

    Don't see many pre facelift c63 pp's nowadays??

    If you're looking for a well loved pre facelift PPP you could ask Andrew Bond on Facebook as he has my old car. It's not for sale yet but it comes with Quaife LSD, eurocharged map and secondary cat delete. Also just had the car repainted under warranty and front discs done so it's pretty mint.

    Don't see many pre facelift c63 pp's nowadays??

    They didn't make that many of the PP (2008/2009) models really. You do see them but not often. In 2010 they made a few pre facelift PPPs that had the 487bhp engine but not the LSD like you got on the earlier PP. There was a lot more of the facelift PPPs made obviously because the run was longer.

    Red Calipers on C63.

    That's kinda what makes it a transition model. Best of both worlds. A guy sent me some details of a car he wanted to buy about a year ago. This was a late pp car, but had the PPP engine. Had the grey callipers but 2 peice discs. Had the hard suspension and LSD. I also wrote the red callipers...

    Red Calipers on C63.

    To add, Some here have claimed that their PPP came with the 2 piece rotors. My suggestion is that dealers may have retrofitted the earlier PP spec discs (when the OEM discs were worn out) because up until recently they were considerably cheaper than the later PPP discs. They are now both...

    Red Calipers on C63.

    Only ever seen black decals myself, unless the calipers were silver / grey. I'd suggest the silver decals on red callipers is an aftermarket look. Could be wrong but it sounds like they are PPP wannabe editions.

    C63 - is it worth remapping ??

    If you purchase a Eurocharged map it would normally come with the top speed limiter removed. If you were wanting to keep the limiter I'm sure Jerry at Eurocharged could tailor the map to suit.
