Scottish Elises

I need help.

Can someone please tell me why I SHOULD NOT buy a 2010 Merc C63 AMG, 4 door with less than 12K miles, for circa £33K, other than the pittiful fuel consumption.

Gareth. I do not need your comments because you are biased

Because you could get a 700BHP RS6 for the same money?

You don't need to see mine that's just been 'detailed' and looking great on my drive.

They are very different cars. I test drove a 700bhp RS6 before opting for another E63. The RS6 was stupidly fast in a straight line, but you just don't feel that connected to it.

If your budget will stretch to a face lifted C63 i think that is a slightly better option as IMHO the speed shift gearbox is better plus the interior is slightly nicer. But you won't go wrong with either, the worrying thing for me is I have been pleasntly surprised with the fuel economy of my new E63 but that from me coming from an older E63 and a tuned Rs6 before it!

Horrific depreciation, high road tax and cost of consumables

Terrific noise, great handing and very reliable

It's german and has no soul

Mate's missus has one. The noise, the noise.

Oh they have soul by the bucket load. I know mine is an E not a C but it is laugh out loud fun when you are on it. A 2 ton estate has no right to be that much of an animal.

Buy it, you love it.

No matter if it's right or wrong, some itches need scratching!

My Parent's next doorneighbour has just got a spanking new one in red...........................On Motability FFS
He must be the Perthshire's fastest Paraplegic!!

The noise is "semi " inducing and old women throw their undergarments on his windscreen wherever he goes

c'mon then. Chop chop.

Last 5500 miles I've avg 20.4mpg
My 17 miles to work was 25mpg this morning.
Not bad for a big V8.

£85 to fill it - so small tank
Lasts on avg about 240 miles. I have seen 260 miles to a tank.

My 2013 does have the better/improved gearbox and dash/command.

Depreciation...never goes on holiday but "I'm big in oil*" so no problem
