Decided to post my long term E63 estate up for sale. I've owned this car for over 5 years & it's been epic but I fancy a change..

2012 E63 5.5ltr Biturbo Estate in Cobalt White.
121,500 miles - will rise as it's my daily drive.

FSH - main dealer until 48,000 then independent (Star-Tech in Poole, then Project AMG recently)

Spec includes the usual stuff with the following extras (pan roof, adaptive headlights, parktronic, Harman Kardon sound system & gloss black trims)

Bought this car after viewing & testing several other cars - this was the nicest example I could find with the correct service history, no issues & no advisories on past MOTs.

Last year it had new OEM front & rear discs & pads along with a new battery & geo set-up at Mercedes Poole.
Serviced just before Christmas so needs nothing until the next service.
Last year I fitted a set of OEM forged alloys - original set rears were suffering from cracks.

MOT until October 22nd 2024 - rear discs & pads changed since the MOT & the other small advisories checked by Project AMG.

Interior is in A1 condition - bolsters all good - drivers side slightly "soft" but 99%.

Exterior is very good, not perfect but nothing nasty or scratchy - yes it's got the odd mark here & there but what do you expect after 120,000 + miles of daily driving.

Full book pack & boot pack (Mercedes flat pack tray, toolkit + gloves, compressor, AMG space saver etc + boot liner

Needs two rear tyres & a windscreen (OEM one is cracked) these will be sorted before any purchase.

Nearly forgot to add that back in July 2021 it was stage 1 mapped by MSL to a safe & proven 625bhp & 685lb ft torque & whilst there it had a rear resonator delete - needless to say it goes extremely well & sounds fantastic.

Not much else to add really other than it's been a 100% reliable family wagon & no doubt I'll regret selling it.

Any questions, further info, photos, test drives etc just drop me a PM

Price… £18K ono to a fellow forum member or friend for such a good car in fantastic condition.

Thanks for looking

Quick heads up, the car is still available & as mentioned I'm happy to consider offers.

New set of tyres fitted today - Yokohama Advan Sport V107 now on all corners.
285/30/19 98Y XL rears
255/35/19 96Y XL fronts

If you're looking for a well looked after, driven daily, 100% reliable W212 E63 pre-face lift, then drop me a PM before I end up trading it in & it goes to the auctions only to be abused for the rest of its life :oops::oops:
 
OK, so I've decided to give selling the E63 another go, please see below the service/maintenance history for the car, it makes comprehensive reading as I've not skimped on servicing etc..

Before I owned the car:
15/04/2013 @ 10381 miles Service A (MB main dealer)
16/04/2014 @ 19,810 miles Service B (MB main dealer)
28/04/2015 @ 30,486 miles Service A (MB main dealer)
05/04/2016 @ 41,048 miles Service B (MB main dealer) - spark plugs replaced
06/02/2017 @ 49,197 miles Service A (MB main dealer)
Since I've owned the car:
15/10/2018 @ 54,112 miles Service B (Norman Motors, Poole) pre collection service when I purchased the car
17/09/2019 @ 63,363 miles Service A (local indi) - front & rear pads
19/06/2020 @ 72,283 miles Service B (Star Tech, Poole)

11/02/2021 @ 80,152 miles Drivers side level sensor (Star Tech, Poole)
17/06/2021 @ 82,823 miles Service A (Star Tech, Poole)
02/07/2021 @ 82,989 miles Both rear level sensors & intake hoses (Star Tech, Poole)
14/07/2021 @ 83,500 miles Stage 1 re-map & centre resonator delete (MSL)
29/07/2021 @ 83,722 miles Rear ride height pipes replaced (Star Tech, Poole)
02/09/2021 @ 85,196 miles Spark plugs replaced (local indi)
06/12/2021 @ 87,119 miles Transmission System Service (Project AMG)
04/05/2022 @ 90,074 miles Front Pads (local indi)
05/07/2022 @ 94/118 miles Service B (Project AMG)
22/07/2022 @ 95,322 miles Front drop links, torsion bar links & Air-Con service (Project AMG)
23/12/2022 - new battery (MB main dealer OEM)
01/03/2023 @ 106,176 miles Service A (Project AMG)
17/03/2023 @ 106,779 miles Front discs & pads (Project AMG)
01/11/2023 @ 118,026 miles Service B + rear discs & pads (Project AMG)
19/04/2024 @ 129,278 miles Service A + front pads & spark plugs replaced (Project AMG)

So it's fair to say it's been well maintained - I have paperwork & receipts for all work carried out on the car.
Current mileage is now 132,000 - it's just completed a 2,700 family trip to Croatia & back without an issue so it's 100% reliable.
MOT runs expires 22/10/2024 & previous advisories were checked by Project AMG & have been monitored since.

Will require a set of tyres before it's next MOT

Looking for £16,750 ono for the car.

Should you be looking to step into an E63, I would consider a deal with a well looked after W211 or W212

PM me or drop me a message on 07967 645585 for further details or some E63 chat.

Second time lucky eh...:cool:
 
Hi there,

Good to see new members lurking on the forum.!!
Yes, it's still for sale - only advertised on the forum as i'd like it to go to someone who will appreciate the car & the maintenance I've given it.
It's been 100% reliable in the 6 years i've owned it - the best car i've owned & my wife n daughters think i'm nuts to sell it but i do fancy a change.
The MOT is due in a couple of weeks, so that needs sorting (most likely rear tyres only to pass)
Typically, since re-posting the advert, it has recently developed a wheel bearing rumble - nothing nasty, just will need addressing before long - my trusted indi has quoted £508 fitted (including VAT) & the transmission fluid & filter needs changing - not been done since 87,000 miles & should be done every 40,000 miles making it overdue - my indi has quoted me £329.50 (including VAT)
Those are the only things that need doing & i was intending to do these once the MOT is sorted.

Let me know if you're interested, mine might not have all the options but it's less to go wrong & has been well looked after.

I can send you some pictures by WhatsApp if required.

Be interested to hear what 997 you have, mine is a completely standard 2004 C2 sports chrono & it's ace on my local Dorset B roads :cool:

All the best

Jon
 
The mighty E63 is booked into Project AMG on the 21st October for an MOT, wheel bearing & transmission fluid & filter change so it will be match fit again.
We're then away for a week together in Cornwall (along with the family) so if anyone fancies a viewing/test drive best make it early November.
Cheers
