My next M157 AMG

[badgx]

Definitely, hang in there buddy, will keep an eyeout on AT Agree, downside to a white car is they do show up the dirt more but look really nice when their clean especially in diamond white paint in the sun which I believe has a bit of pearl in the paint. Estate version is a unicorn as rightly mentioned and even more so if its an S version.

There aren’t too many CLS63’s coming onto the market. I’ve continued to track them since buying mine last year and only 2 post 2015 models have appeared. I waited quite a while for mine to appear and whilst it didn’t have every ideal option, it was by far the best condition and spec, plus I love the colour so bought it. I very nearly let it go last month after being made a decent offer against another car I’d been after, but it fell through so happily held on to it.

The CL63 is another stunner but a hard find. Likewise a low mileage S212 E63.

Yeah, facelift CLS63’s are super rare, I am not making life easy for myself. I am starting to think that I am going to have to compromise on spec if I can find a non white car.

If you don’t mind me asking, what car were you after?

How about this? I test drove this, back in October'22 at their Wolverhampton Branch when it was priced at £32k. It hasn't sold.

I started keeping tabs on E63 prices last summer until redundancy stopped play, and have recently resumed watch. Been quite surprised at the number of cars that haven't sold - for some it's blatantly apparent why but others are more surprising - outwardly at least.

One observation for the former is the amount of overly aggressive wheel refurbs; there's at least 3 cars at dealers where the AMG logo is totally gone along with much, if not all, of the spoke recess. When that much material has been removed, you start to wonder if they're only fit for scrap?

Agree, you can probably getaway with 2 cuts on the lathe but anything more then that the wheel will start to look out of shape, that's why I believe many end up being powder coated than diamond cut

Unfortunately whoever was responsible for this abomination left it far too late. Worse still, it's not even uniform around the wheel!

Agree them wheels have seen better days it does let down what is probably a decent car. Hope the edges aren't too sharp, could effect the side walls under impact?

I don't suppose any of you gents are around Chichester are you? An E63S has popped up at the main dealer that sounds interesting, if someone could put eyes on it then I would very much appreciate it.

 

[AMGeed]

^ Saloons are on the watch list as well then.
That should widen the market considerably.
The one above is definitely worth a look.

I’d get a deposit down on that and go and see it. Cheap car with that mileage, and two years warranty too

 

[ALFAitalia]

No pics though....that's just down the road 10 minutes from me.

 

[Cyclone1]

It’s probably be taken in on a p/ex and given the lack of info and pics they are looking to move it quickly. It will have a pre inspection carried out so they can determine what they need to do to get it ready for sale and offer the warranty. They may have done this already or it’s being done imminently. The bonus for you is that this can be a great bartering tool. The price is realistic which means in order to secure the sale slap a deposit on it (returnable) and get them to complete every task highlighted on the pre-inspection and or offer a touch less if you feel there are a few items on the pre-inspection that are deemed as needing to be done straight away, but may need doing within 12 months. Thinking obvious items like discs, pads, tyres, etc

 

[Mbuglass]

Thanks all. I gave the dealer a shout this morning and they kindly sent over the build sheet, unfortunately it is extremely light on options. The only pack it has is the external carbon fibre pack, which I don't have any interest in at all.
I have attached the build sheet in case anyone is interested.

 

[E55BOF]

It's not there any more, so presumably it's sold. I see what you mean about the options; rare to find a car where so little extra has been spent.

 

[AMGeed]

Apart from the Carbon fibre pack and spoiler, the only option not included in a normal build is the rear electric blind.
Real poverty spec for the S version. Disappointing.

 

[Mbuglass]

Yes, very disappointing. I had high hopes when I find out it was silver and not white, there will be more.

Here's a 2015 estate that appeared on eBay today. It has Distronic and 360 camera at least.
