Anyone looking for a C63 Estate with the LSD?

As mine has finally popped up for sale...at MB Truro!

My final price was the original GFV given by MB. And that was based on 20k miles whereas mine was on fewer than 15k and in exceptional condition (if I do say so myself). So to see a main dealer is only selling it for more than £1k over shows how poorly judged the GFV was.

Regarding trade in, MB wouldn't offer me anything for the car - the best I had was a BMW dealer who offered me £33k.

Also it's taken almost 3 months since handing back to it appearing on te MB used website. In that time it's covered something like 28 miles...

The other advantage of my old car is that it was Eurocharge remapped. It dyno'd at 455bhp beforehand and 507bhp afterwards. So 507bhp, LSD and running on the much better riding and more progressive handling 18"s, makes it a good spec IMO

Hey Jack,

Actually I'm not missing it as much as I feared and I'm certainly not missing the fuel stops every 4th day. TBH I stand by my earlier reasoning that you just can't enjoy or fully exploit the performance on today's crowded roads. Shame really as the car really shone on the Continent earlier this year.

Hi Ghb
I am looking at the moment for a replacement for my c350 saloon and want an estate. 63 's are hard to find and Truro is a long way away from me in Essex, is a good car worth the trip for me? Your profile suggests you are a careful owner.
I would greatly appreciate your thoughts.

thanks

Well someone who has viewed this thread has been in contact with MB Truro...I've just had the dealer call me to check if it's still 'chipped' (it isn't)
