Morning all, first post here hoping for some advice... It's got me up at 4am pacing the house!
I've always been a fan of the amg series cars and am now in the position to purchase one alongside my heavily modified saffron Volvo V70r.
I'm after some advice on what to choose between a c63 and sl55 skipping the obvious ones a 2 seater convertible, the former a coupe.
I've been offered a c63 2008 with 50k mileage off a mate for 18k. I've seen similar sl55s 2003/4 for similar money.
The c63 is clearly a newer car but does that make it better? I like the idea of top down action but feel concerned about early 2000 merc reliability, rust and Abc suspension.
My commute is 6 miles each way, the v70 only does 16mpg (must run on vpower) so fuel is just part of life.
Performance seem similar on paper and tuning options plentyful on both.
If you had the keys to both in front of you.... What would you choose?....
