C63 Canadian pricing very reasonable

[Hakkola]

$63 000, same as American pricing from what I remember, huge surprise.

i think the US msrp is $54k, which is the same price as the M3 down there.

[schocker]

Well I had guessed 66k, but this price is very reasonable, especially compared to the old C55amg pricing.

[rage2]

Oh snap! I should've looked into that for my 2nd car!

[benyl]

Woah. Wonder what availability is like. I paid $65K for the 335. Fawk.

Problem with MB, is that by the time you option it out, it will be $90K!

I might have to order one for this fall.

[Xtrema]

Wow, ISF owner must feel stupid now.

You're thinking Porsches. AMG's usually don't have that many options.

[blinkme_210]

Hello my next car! And apparently it's better spec'ed than the US C63's too:

"To support front-line Sales, please be advised the Canadian C 63 AMG is higher equipped than the US version;
highlighted by standard AMG Nappa Leather upholstery (vs. standard cloth/ARTICO upholstery)."

In that case, all I need is keyless go and an LSD!

[rage2]

The thread states that the sport package (LSD) isn't available for MY08, have to wait for MY09 to see if it becomes available.

I haven't heard if the sport package is available for US markets.

If we get the leather standard, another $4-$5K of options will make it fully loaded.

Who would've thought MB will undercut Lexus.

[blownz]

Damn that is impressive on the part of MB!

I would love this as a daily driver. Although I just wish they would have manual transmissions available. :(

I guess since their reliability isn't as good as Lexus' they realize they have to charge less.

:dunno:

[MaLwa]

Wow, I was looking at the 335 but the C63 would be great!

[boxer23]

Well if that is the final price then MB did an amazing job..not to offend anyone but anyone buying a 335 sedan over a C63 would be a complete bafoon:D

It makes no sense to go 335 when the C63 is pretty much the same price.

I dunno how BMW's gonna compete. They HAVE to drop prices. I'm gonna feel sorry for the current 335's and M3 owners pretty soon.

[spyce]

Wow nice pricing.
Makes you wonder if Audi will ever drop the price on the S-cars seeing as how a fully loaded S5 is $70k :(

I doubt there will be a shortage of people wanting a 335 given the C63 pricing. There are more people that are looking for a certain badge, or style than there are people who would jump from a bmw to a mercedes over pricing.

[benyl]

The 335 can't be touched in terms of gas mileage for the amount of power it has.

hahahhahaha

[benyl]

There is also a reliability factor. MB hasn't been too high on the list of reliability lately. This is a brand new car... bound to be issues.

I am just wondering how they detuned 50hp from the car (compared to the E63).

[rage2]

They didn't. The exhaust is a bit more restrictive, but it'll be like the E55 only having 460hp but dynos only 10hp less than the SL55 at 505hp.

[benyl]

You're saying that with an exhaust (that will cost $10K no doubt) that the C63 will be dynoing the same as all of the 63AMG cars?

[rage2]

I dunno, I'll tell you when I start seeing more ppl mod them.

The E55 raped everything out there for a reason, even tho it was behind in HP heh.

[googe]

Hmm, never liked MBs much, but at 54k usd, that's hard to say no to.

My friend ordered an A5, not S5, just A5, and optioned out hit 70 or damn close. Rediculous.

I don't see how Audi is going to compete. With the price these cars are coming out at new, it's pretty much guaranteed I'll take a bath on my S4 when I go to sell it. Dang.

[dj_honda]

Damn I want one. Maybe 09.

[SilverRex]

dam and I was quoted in the 70s.

wow

dam its getting my blood boiling again:guns:

[Xtrema]

Audi is out of the competition now.

S5 can barely match up with 335i and they want $64K for it.

BMW is dumping their 3s now as refresh is coming in the fall. 2% lease on most 3 series.

[treg50]

LOL, it's hilarious how everyone's saying 'audi's out of the competition' :D

You're talking about Porsche who owns Audi and VW (and others). They'll never be out of the competition. They may be last to change their prices but they will. Haha, it took MB and BMW until recently to adjust their pricing.

I believe Porsche was the first manufacturer, or at least one of the first, to adjust their prices. Last fall, Porsche adjusted the price on Porsches when the Canadian and U.S. dollars were about equal.

Wow if this is legit that is fuckin crazy. That is awesome pricing for the C63. I will fell really bad for 335 owners, but I'm not if it will effect their decision that much anyways. The majority of people buying the 335 are not enthusiasts anyways, so the C63 may not appeal as much to them.

BMW=owned

[Redlyne_mr2]

Wow times have changed.. 4 years ago the SLK32 was the Beyonders car of choice. Members were dropping $80K for this car, who would have thought that cars would get cheaper.

If you guys really want one, go see someone at Lone Star. Last check (couple weeks ago) they still have their April allocation.

AMG's usually come fully loaded so no options. $63,500+$1900 freight/pdi+$500 doc fee+3M, under $70K out the door! :eek:

So tempting!

just curious what was your reason for picking up the GTI? the box? or your just laying low until something comes up.

speaking of the C63, man is it ever attractive. Not only is the price affordable, but the fact that MB has lower lease payments compared to Lexus and BMW. This will haunt me every day until I die or until I get one. and the 4 month wait isnt as bad either.

Maybe I'll settle in 09 when they work out some bugs and I wonder how difficult it is to get the Barabus kit. :nut:

I am very tempted, but would wait for the '09 for the LSD. This car would likely be the winter beater and I would want to have some sideways fun!

Very, very tempting. The only thing I don't like is that MB doesn't come with the service program. Yes, I know you pay for it with BMW, but it is nice knowing you don't have to fork out more cash every time you bring it in.

A and B services are really cheap at the dealer anyways. Something like $200 for the A service and $400 for the B service if I remember right. I only had to do the A twice, and B once in 3 years.

Are those two the only type of service for MB? or your A service is your typical oil change, filter and rotation.

It does sound not too bad considering how much I spent at acura I would almost say it nearly about the same if you add it all together.

Mind you I had to replace my rear disc caliper and changed out my cluth and brake fluid. I also took my car in every 6k instead of 8k as recommended

[b_t]

So what do you think a lease payment would be on one of these things?

[rage2]

max_boost? Did you get some numbers? I have no idea what MB's current lease rates are. AMG cars used to have horrible lease interest rates... you can find 3rd party guys that'll give you a better deal.

[benyl]

It will likely be in the $900-1200 range depending on the residual.

[SilverRex]

^^^

well all I did was did a lease payment calculation with the E300 which is closest at 66k and with 9k down payment, 39 month lease at around 3-4$ its about 570/month excluding tax and PDI.

sure the lease rate would prolly be in the 7-8%, so really your taking away the 3-4k downpayment, so I est about 650/month tax in with PDI just because c63 is 63k in the 1st place

Last I went, it was about 300 for A, and 500 for B, at 15K intervals, alternating between the the two.

Mind you anything that is "wrong", brakes, fluids etc is on top.

BMW has far better rates and residuals hence best lease payments. Your C63 AMG will be about $900-$1200 a month at 36-39 months like Benyl said with 0 down.

[SilverRex]

^^^

still not bad since its at a 15k interval. Do they require the use of their own oil like what BMW does? or can you bring in your own.

anyways the only thing concerns me are the wear and tear items I dont think MB parts come cheap at all

are you sure

I did a comparison yesterday with two similar lease rate and price around 64-65k and BMW came out 730/month and MB came out 670/month both around 4% with 9k down payment. excluding tax and PDI of course. If this is so, then that means MB has higher residual to offset the lower payments.

Beside if you take out the down payment, lease payments are inline with what Benyl said around 900-1200 a month

the worse is LExus, ISF 64k with no option, 9k downpayment still comes out 800-900/month lease rediculous, you would think Lexus brand is more realible and should have a higher residual but the exact opposit happens.

Standard Mobil 1. I usually get an oilchange at 7500 and 22500 so effectively doubling the # of oil changes.

MB parts are cheap. A hell of a lot cheaper than BMW.

what the hell are you doing putting down $9K? Take that $9K and go buy yourself a brand new Hyundai. You may as well burn the money.

MB rates are typically higher and their residuals are lower. MB owners usually buy their car. BMW owners are douches and lease their cars.

You cannot compare the E class of the same price with the C63AMG. You can be certain the residual on a niche car will be lower.

The lease APR on the C63 will likely be 8-9% for a while. It is a brand new model with very little availability.

thats why its tempting, but I know my priorities, i'll still get a kick out of thinking about it.

[xrayvsn]

Damn, how tempting is that?

Then again, its $63,500 for the C63 and then $1500 for tires every other week. I know the first thing I would do is to turn off the traction control and pretty much light up the tires at every opportunity since I can't do that with the STi.

Someone go buy one. I don't want to be the guinea pig. I also don't need 4 cars for a 2 driver household, and I can't bring myself to get rid of the other cars.

[max_boost]

It just so happens that the Benz sales/managers came in for lunch today.

First thing I asked him was: "Is it true" he immediately said, "YES, better get down there (dealership) if you want one"

All they know right now is the price. They don't even have the brochure yet. The car should come fully loaded, maybe some extra performance options for the hardcores (as mentioned by some of you already). I still remember having to pay $1500 for my bi-xenons two years ago, nice to see that standard (as of 07 models). That was rediculars for an $80K car! Right rage/kenny?? LOL

Lease rate will probably be high. Residual will probably be low. You can forget about leasing, not worth it at all. You are better off putting it on the HELOC or something. 5.25% FTW and some of you guys have it below prime.

I got my first service done at 15,000kms back in Dec 07 and it was on the FSS (flexible service system). It was Service "B" (weird cause you figure it would be "A") and it cost $300.

Next service is 15,000kms and cost anywhere from $500-$600! :eek:

Now I know it comes with the territory when you buy an expensive car, you have to maintain it but you have to get this shit done at Benz, no other way around it or else you might get fucked on any warranty claims. I agree with Benyl in that it would be so nice if they just offered complimentary maintenance like BMW.

Doubtful there will be the bugs associated with new models, the 63 engine has been in the line up a couple years already, and the new c-class has been on the roads for about 6 months or so in North America if I remember correctly.

If you keep waiting for a second year car to come out, then something nicer is going to hit the market and you are going to want that, and then wait another year so they can fix the bugs again.....you are just going to delay buying anything!

Brabus Kit is not hard to get. Tunerworks can get it but will cost anywhere from $5-$10k, who knows! :D

ZorroAMG has one coming it and he's getting the Brabus Kit. That's going to be one hot car.

I ended up financing the SLK at 6.75% over 72 months. Higher payments but after 3 years I figure there will be more equity in the car vs leasing@36 months. I do prefer leasing in the sense I can just drop off the car at the dealer and be done with it.

Wow that's a good rate considering the length of the term. I can't even get Lexus to offer subvented rates on any terms longer than 48 months let alone get them to do 72 month contracts.

[mischief]

At Lone Star they have two allocations available (or that I was told of at least) for 2008. I'm probably going to wait until 09s as there will only be 2 months of production of 09s. No sense taking the depreciation one full car model year in order to get it "first"..

[mischief]

P.S. There are two options available right now (Performance Package soon?)

MNP Package (Navi) - $2500
MPP Package (No pricing yet) told ~$3500
Includes CD Changer/Bluetooth, rear sunshade, thermotronic auto climate controls, HK sound system, keyless go

So about $71 500 including PDI + tax

P.S. There are two options available right now (Performance Package soon?)

MNP Package (Navi) - $2500
MPP Package (No pricing yet) told ~$3500
Includes CD Changer/Bluetooth, rear sunshade, thermotronic auto climate controls, HK sound system, keyless go

So about $71 500 including PDI + tax

I'm cheap so I'll opt out of either packages. I'll use my Nuvi 350 and start the car manually :D :rofl:

Forgot to add, not sure if this is their sales tactic but they mentioned that MB will most likely raise the price by $3000-$4000 in 6 months or so when they realize that $63,500 is too low of a price point.

FWIW, I'm not surprised if they do because we were all expecting prices to be a bit higher anyway.

I'm seriously contemplating getting one now but the black/black they are getting is reserved for rage2 right now haha but I'll definitely take an 09 in Alabaster White!

hahah you're telling me

but at 63k, that's a steal in comparison to what I was expecting it to be priced at.

^ The only reason everyone was expecting the price to be higher is because of how much they bend us over on every other model. :thumbsdow

What they should really realize is that if they price the vehicles in Canada a little better in comparison to the US prices, sales of all of their models will be brisk. The Germans need big time work in that area imo.

Fu@k... I couldn't wait for this car. I couldn't even wait for the M3. I needed a car ASAP, so got the 335i.

I know that the 335i smoked to 60 mph in only 4.8 seconds and eclipsed the quarter-mile in 13.3 seconds at almost 106 mph. I wonder with Vishnu + Exhaust upgrade if the 335i will be able to keep up with the C63.

Good thing i didn't pay 85K for the M3 :eek:

I look at it this way(just to make my self feel better). Since the price is great, all the females will be zipping around 17th ave with this car, Chick car every one?:D :D

Cheers,

No bad but not in HD.

Drifting on ice is cool. The exhaust sounds sweet. Way deepr sound than IS-F and looks hot.

MAYBE. But N/A + torque = FTW.

300/300 + chip = 400/380 vs 451/443

The fastest 335 can't even beat the new M3, which is slower than the C63 :).
