After 4 + years of owning my E63 M157 i'm thinking of changing & have been looking at C63 W205 wagons.<br />
I dearly love my E63 wagon but i fear it might be time for a change... I thought i'd ask if anyone on here has made this change & see what their thoughts are regarding the downsize to a C class.<br />
Thanks<br />
Jon

Don't do it buddy, hold out for the S213 V8? Prices are still at mark up and rather expensive, maybe wait and enjoy what you have <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🙂" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" title="Slightly smiling face :slight_smile:" data-shortname=":slight_smile:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />

IMO a move from 204 -> 205 and 212 -> 213 is a step in the right direction, but I’m not sure 212 -> 205 is quite as appealing.<br />
I understand the financial side of it, but if you still love your S212 E63 after owning it and being accustomed to the size of it after 4 years of ownership I’m not sure a double jump (size and generation) is the right thing to do.<br />

Previously, I shifted from a 205 C63s to a 213 E63s and they are worlds apart.<br />
If I was you I would hold out for your ‘ideal’ car and skip the S205 C63<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">*</span> and an (significant or not) additional amount of loss in depreciation. <br />
