Very nice....and looks cheap compared to the money BS versions are up for.....bet it sounds great with that blower!! Not a very big power gain over stock though.

Needs Sliver wheels, otherwise it looks like any blacked out C63 from a distance

I wouldn't call £55k+ for a 12 year old C class cheap, no matter what Brabus have added to the car.
Even Autotrader note its over £34k over a normal 12plate C63.
Poor value for me.

As usual... find another. Still 80 to 100k less than a good BS.

Something strange with that car. From memory, the Brabus B 63 conversion for the W204 M156 C 63 AMG was 510 PS, and the B 63 S was 550 PS. However it has a Brabus 650 badge on the boot, which related to the W205 M177.

Confusing things even further it appears to have an ESS supercharger which will have eliminated the B 63 map. Some iffy badges and claims of Brabus bonnets and trim which don’t add up. Hopefully the eventual Buyer has their eyes wide open.

I always find it difficult to tell what is genuine and what is not when it comes to Brabus mods. I don’t know much about Brabus conversions to begin with and variety of mods that could be had from the tuner also makes it not easy.

Your gut instinct is usually right.

Factory cars from Bottrop are usually easy to spot. Cars described as being a Brabus but which only have a counterfeit Brabus badge and are otherwise completely standard are easy to spot. The first very very rare and the second buyer beware.

I’d go so far as to say that cars which are completely standard apart from a few Brabus parts - with Brabus badges only on those parts and not all over the car - are also relatively easy to spots they’re rare and worth a premium for the right car.

Cars with a heavily modified look, with a mix of parts from different tuners, and often with counterfeit Brabus badges stuck where you wouldn’t expect (eg rotary controller) tend not to look “right”, and you should tread very carefully.

People who spend huge amounts of money on a factory Brabus car or who buy lots of expensive genuine Brabus parts tend not to mix them with parts from other tuners or counterfeit badges as it “dilutes” the Brabusness.

Unfortunately cars with genuine Brabus parts mixed with counterfeit Brabus parts (and badges) and parts from other tuners will probably be viewed suspiciously if the buyer wants a “real” Brabus. People who want the look won’t care.

Apart from the obvious there’s nothing wrong with counterfeit parts and badges, just don’t fall into the trap of paying more a car with them. They’re probably worth less to most people and will require a buyer looking for exactly that look.

Overpriced shed.

There's so much more car you can get for 55k than this thing but perhaps there's someone out there who is willing to pay a massive premium for a hugely modded car like this one

It’s definitely not a Brabus factory car. There may be a genuine Brabus part in there somewhere, but it may just be the engine cover!
