A Bit of an update on the state of the market for 507's
14 cars currently for sale either privately or through the independent trade. A few still crop up with main dealers but becoming scarce. These are all coupés with no Saloons or Estates available
Average price is £36,600
Average mileage is 34,000
Most of these were only listed for sale in the last 2 months but the Fire Opal Red coupe at Warmans Motors has been up for sale since July 2018 [and is the only car over £40,000]
34 cars have changed hands so far this year [15%]
It seems the prices are holding strong even compared to last year.

Well, I've finally took the plunge and have decided to sell my 507 Estate. I'm planning to advertise within these forums in the 1st instance and then move to Auto Trader/PistonHeads if necessary.
Listing is here - C63 AMG Estate Edition 507 2013 (63)
I spoke to a few people recently via PM, when I mentioned that I might be selling, so if anyone it still interested then please give me a shout. Private plate has been removed so the car is ready to go.
Would be great to see this car go to another enthusiast and if I can find the right AMG GT I won't be going too far on the forums.

Hi guys, I'm looking to get back in to a C63 after selling my coupe last October. I've now got a 3 month old daughter so I'm thinking an estate may be the way to go. Ive always hankered after a 507 but still need to drive one to see if they're worth the premium.
I'd really appreciate your views on the white estate in the AT link above. It's at a dealer fairly near to me. Am I right in thinking it doesn't have many options? I'd ideally like an LSD and rear camera but the estates seem very rare so can't be too choosey. Does the price seem fair? The 507 prices seem way over book prices.

In my eyes, if you want an estate, when one becomes available you need to jump straight on it.
Finding an estate with LSD and a camera is probably slim to no chance.
That one was originally priced up at 45k privately, I’m shocked it’s dropped so much so quickly so thoroughly check it out.

Phil, do you have AJ14XKG, a white Coupe, on your list? I have just seen it for sale at "Town and Country", a small dealers just outside Aberdeen.
I have no knowledge of the car apart from what's in the online advert, but looks like someone could get a bit of a bargain.

That is maybe the cheapest 507 I’ve ever seen. Perhaps for good reason?
It says AMG diff lock but also says exterior carbon so not sure what the actual spec is.

it is crazy cheap for a one owner car. Only factory options are black wheels and privacy glass. Definitely no LSD and if it has carbon exterior then that's after market as it wasn't even an option on the 507.

Of the 17 estates I've seen, only 2 have an LSD. Suspect you'd be extremely lucky to find one up for sale unless you're very patient. Not a problem to fit a Quaife Diff and many owners have gone down that route as it seems a better Diff than OEM.
Reversing camera is on 7 of the 17 Estates so more likely to find one of those. It is quite expensive but the parts can be bought and retro-fitted to factory spec.
The car in the Ad doesn't have many factory optons but it is a 1 owner car with sensible mileage. As @IbanezDan51 says, they don't come up very often so worth considering.
There's also @gedo car listed above

I think that is the CAT car that was wrapped on Ebay last month?
I might be mistaken.

That was a Magno platinum car without a 507 bonnet and 44,000 miles so definitely not the same one. Still not sure why so cheap though.

Wow so there are only 17 507 estates in the UK?! Didn't realise they were that rare. Do you have the breakdown by colour by any chance?

There were allegedly 21 Estates registered but I only have details of 17 of them. One of them has now been exported to Hong Kong. I also know that 2 of the 17 have Quaife Diffs fitted and 2 have OEM Diffs.
This is the breakdown by colour
PhilLinda that's really useful, many thanks.
Are the 507 running costs pretty much the same as the normal C63? The only difference I can think of is the cost of the composite brake discs. Does anyone know the cost of replacing the discs and pads?

The pads and rear discs are standard C63 stuff
Front discs are more expensive as they are the 2-piece discs. Think something like £800+ per pair.
Running costs are the same as any other C63 with major service every 4 years.

And a little update for you, my cars in for service in October - its just a basic A service and I managed to get the price down to £286.90 at Tamworth inclusive of VAT.
I didn't think that was too bad as online it was showing needing a major at nearly £900. Fortunately the major was done last year along with the plugs, brake fluid and gearbox oil change.

My front discs were replaced in July last year (by the dealer). I have the invoice here and the cost for parts, inc VAT, was £899.00
