Needed a Practical Yet Fun Daily....W204 C63 Saloon Incoming!

[shadowboxer]

New member posting. So my trusty 320Ci that I've had since 2008 has finally been replaced. Going to miss it. Was my second car and I'm really quite sad to let it go. I regret not waiting when I bought it and getting a 330 but hey ho. Few quick potato photos of it's replacement. A 2012 W204 C63, only two owners. Needed a more practical family daily but that was also exciting/interesting. Needs a good clean and detail so excuse the dirt. No plans for mods at present as I'd like to keep it as stock as possible (whilst I learn the car and about mods) but bascially enjoy it. May think about an LSD at a later date, however. Only plans for now are to do a couple of minor things to tidy it up a little. I love the understated look this one has. Too many of the saloons are white, black alloys, tinted windows etc.

Thanks guys. Just popped into my local MB dealer to discuss service plans. What are peoples thoughts on this. Will be due B service this year as well as transmission fluid change. Worth it or not?

Four door and a boot. What else can I ask for? Would have loved the wagon but trying to find one was too hard!!

Yes! 3 years , Especially if you are getting B,A,B and a transmission service, given it will include all oils, filters, spark plugs etc.

Unfortunately only phone pics but you get the idea.
2 stage machine polish and ceramic coating.
Paintwork looks amazingly good for a 7 year old car.

I Would take out a service contract for the 3 years, servicing B/A/B will save you money and fix the price of services for 3 years , I did this for my SLK so other than brakes/discs and other consumables I can budget. Especially as got 2 year MB T1 warranty even though car was nearly 7 years old when I bought it earlier this year

Lovely colour, congratulations!

Are you missing the 63 yet?

Are you missing the 63 yet?

Only when I see others! Honestly, not really. Enjoyed every minute of C63 but it was time to change. Merc warranty had gone up to £1700 amongst other things. Miss the V8 noise and power the most.

Nice motor, also in Stoke myself, there are several C63's in that gorgeous colour knocking around, yours looks as stock and no mods, which I like!

 

[shadowboxer]

3 and a half years have flown by! Still gives my a huge grin every morning and still appreciate the understated look.

Cracking car mate! My good friend used to own w204 c63. He actually had 2 with the last one being edition 507 and wrapped in Nardo gray. It looked absolutely mint. Nothing beats that sound too...

Love the colour.
