s211 e63 estate

2007 07 PLATE Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG 6.2 7G-Tronic Estate in Black | eBay
seems a reasonable price for an 07 car although lots of miles.
Spec looks ok - although I can't work out what goes in the blanks by the heated seat switches. All I can think of that seems to be missing is the rear headrest drop switch.
And its not silver.

I was negotiating on that very car barely a month ago, it was down at a trader in Aldershot for £16k, then £15,495. I offered £14k to take it "as is" but they said all they could knock off was maybe £100, £200 tops. One week later they'd dropped the price to £14,995...

It then disappeared from AT so I just though someone had bought it.

From memory the front discs and pads were nearly new but it had new mid-range tyres fitted to the front and tears were "roughly 4mm" which probably meant 3mm, which meant they wanted changing. I'd have replaced the full set with Continentals.

At £14,995 is that not a good deal?

I'd moved on by then.

I'm not one of these faffs who negotiate for a fortnight over £100, then start nitpicking, I like to strike a deal within 24 hours and be done with it.

Me too. Sometimes without even seeing the car...

Likewise. I'm the same. Still if it was at £14,995 originally it would of sold very quickly I'd imagine.

I was in two minds about going to look at this one at the weekend:

Used Mercedes-benz E Class Estate 6.2 E63 Amg 7g-tronic 5dr in Amersham, Buckinghamshire | Motor Store Ltd

However, doing a bit of digging suggests it hasn't been taxed since March, has failed some MOTs one sighting excessive play in the suspension and damage to a tyre wall, on top of that looking for reviews on the dealer themselves only returns one result which was pretty scathing. I also think the plate looks familiar which suggests I may have seen it for sale before.

That's ^^^ been for sale for at least six months, started out about £19k. They actually had two S211 E63's for sale at the start, the other was about £2k or £3k cheaper and it sold relatively quickly for one of these.

Am I alone in thinking that it's hard to justify £5k on top of what an E55K would be for the NA 6.2 engine?

I know it's a newer car but am I missing any major benefits performance/features wise?

Not at all but the facelift does look nicer in my opinion.

I'd rather they did a facelift 55k but they didn't for some reason.

 

[Gareth]

Agreed, interior is much better on the E63 but I know some don't rate the engine over the 55, I'm on the lookout for a silver E63, but I think in all honesty a saloon would be better suited for me over an estate.

I believe the estate does not have the rear headrest drop switch and the facelift model got rid of the rear wiper switch. I think it's activated when you are reversing with the front wipers activated.

There is no headrest drop switch on my 2009 s211. Rear wiper switch is on the stalk.

 

[DavidL]

Yes, the 2 wiper switches are missing. I have the headrest drop switch in my 04 estate but they may have removed them in the facelift.
There are 5 blank switches on the facia so I imagine there must be something to go there but I can't find any other cars for sale with anything in those spaces other than the headrest drop switch. Nature (and I imagine MB spec lists) abhors a vacuum!

Now it's back up to £16,995.00

It's E63 price roulette... :bannana:
