C63 and now E63 - deals galore

It's not though, is it? There certainly isn't 70% margin on new cars. I believe it's more like 10% though the figures are obfuscated by tax, VAT and OTR charges

The sales and finance companies are separate and each has to wash its face.

There is more than 10% discount available from list price, so the real figure must be better.
Don't forget, that includes the profit of the sales company in Germany, the sales company in the UK, the dealers margin and transport and admin costs.

The larger parent company will be most interested in the factory making a profit and churning out cars. The more cars on the road, the greater the after-sale revenue.

Did you see the deposit required DS (particularly for the E63)?

I would have thought it was substantial.

Officially it's 8 (!) payments but I got the impression 6 would be ok as we have dealt with them before.

I'm not in for one, my 760 cost £18k and does a good enough job.

How slow were you driving I tried it last week and couldn't get better than 24.1mpg. Boring as hell.

75ish... it was boring but I was determined to get to Manchester and back to Nottingham on 3/4 tank as I wanted to fill up at Tesco with my 10p / per litre off voucher

Had a couple of blasts too.

Had 20 miles left haha

So overall £559 per month including VAT and the deposit divided by the 24 month term which is a cracking deal.

Hmmm me thinks I need another go, off to nottingham to give a presentation to the ACPO mob which is about 210 mile run each way. How long until I get bored

^ Thing is on a european road trip my E class cdi would be quicker, 700 mile + range means far less stops. (ok maybe not as fun...athough motorways are hardly what a c/e63 are built for?)

C63 / E63 are built as autobahn bruisers.

Yes you can cruise at high speed in a CDI car, but it's the effortless pace, noise and fun that you get in a C63 / E63 that makes it so special.

I drove a C350CDI for 2 years and it was a great car but there was no emotion. Everytime I turn the key in the ignition in my C63 it makes me happy! The accleration on a motorway from 60mph+ when a car moves out of the way is stunning, on an autobahn even more fun as you don't need to back off until you hit the limiter haha.
