2012 E63 W212 Estate

[jonboyE63]

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

Forgot to mention it has the revised blue-ish timing chain fitted & the JCR plate will be removed & I assume it will revert back to BW12 CBX

 

[jonboyE63]

As I’ve clearly priced it high for the mileage and year, I would be happy to consider a sensible offer for the car

 

[jonboyE63]

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

quick weekend bump

 

[jonboyE63]

**Price lowered to £18,000 ono**

Please do not hesitate to message me for further details or to arrange a viewing or test drive etc..

 

[jonboyE63]

Decided to keep the car, I've bought a 911 for weekend, road trips & track days - thanks for all the interest & advice regarding price & listing etc..
Will be keeping the car until the W213's come down in price & then I'll most likely trade up..

 

[jonboyE63]

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..

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...

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

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
