C63S may have to go

[Puzzle]

Looking very much the 'mota' shall have to go.

Many reasons of which none are due to finances, which makes it a bit galling. Basically given myself to end of the week to decide but circumstances are already twisting my arm.

Still at least another week of draining an oil field in the middle east and the associated fun beckons.

Do tell the reasons (unless personal) - it's a big decision.

Health.

Injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident 35 years (ish) ago has now really caught up with me.

I to had a bad motorcycle accident around 10 years ago. It caught up with me a few years later. Bikes used to be my all out passion but I can't even swing my leg over one nowadays due to old injuries. So the next best thing is the c63. Gladly I can just about shuffle in and out of it still.

This is the reason I've just sold my Fireblade
I enjoyed the experience and survived it
And I'm quitting while I can .
Sorry to hear about your circumstances .

I,m slowly seeing the light with bikes. I ride a bit of off road now, just green laning stuff, and its good fun at lower speeds. My road bike is now just a Triumph Tiger 800. again, I just like pootling down the single track roads taking in the scenery. My days of scratching on 170 bhp sports bikes are well behind me. My C63 gives me aaaalmost as much pleasure as a bike........aaalmost.
Sorry to hear that you are being plagued by a past injury. As if its not bad enough going through the trauma at the time.....Good luck fella.

Should never sell anything, especially a Fireblade.

Still got mine from new - 3500 miles on the clock - 97 P reg.

BMW lend me an Adventure from time to time if I want to ride.

Mines a 98 last of the carbs , 11k on the clock .

Well it took all of 36 hours to sell.

Now using a more modest BM as the S made other c class seem too ordinary.

Plus no squeaks and rattles.

Private sale?

Here here, still got my, from new, ZZR1100 D1, 93 K reg with a massive 2200 miles on it, can't see me ever getting rid of it.

Sorry to hear about the C63S having to go though. It must have been some accident.

Interesting. God rid of my C63S at the weekend. Is that a car you already had or picked something new up?

Not sure what I'll go for. Ordered fully loaded new car for the wife (New Mini Clubman, very comfortable ride vs most mini's). So will be back to 2 cars soon and no rush to make a decision.

Private sale?

No, sold via the specialist dealer I bought it from.

Meant I lost a few more £££ than I would have liked as of course they get their cut, but meant I did not have to deal with any test pilots and the like.

Used Mercedes C63 AMG 'S' Edition 1 AMG C 63 S Edition 1 (2015) | TOP 555 - TOP555
