Interesting thread. Just bought a c63, 2010, performance pack, 487bhp, 18's and the diff. Never driven one and the first time I do will be on the way home don't think I'll be disappointed tho.

All this talk of cheap pcp deals....the 8k down and £599/ month is for a basic spec car....these are basically non existent....this leaves fully loaded examples on the system with a payment of £800. Even at the cheaper deal it's £22400 over 2 years. A used one 18 months old 10k miles and well specced is c£40k therefore needs to be worth less than £17600 after 2 years for the pcp to work. Possible but unlikely. And on the used one you can look for the ppp/diff etc.

Anyway I'm boring myself now....looking forward to picking it up next wednesday all being well....will post first impressions

Edit to say another thing does my head in while looking.... Dealers don't advertise their cars properly....the one I bought was listed as 450 bhp on the mb used car search and on autotrader... The only reason I rang was because I liked the colour scheme. Makes the search for the perfect car slightly time consuming.

I looked into this too. I wanted PPP and LSD also, as well as 19" rims etc, but it meant adding approx £8k to the price (and that was after 10%ish discount *off* the extras)... which was roughly another £250-300 month. The standard car at £599 month is vgvfm, if that's what you want. But if you want all the toys....

So, i bought a used pre-'125 Edition' car, with all the toys instead.

Great cars btw
