2008 C63 PP or 2011 MCT C63?

[davidsc]

Bit of a dilemma, which would be the better buy?

50k mile 2008 C63 PP

or

70k mile 2011 C63 Facelift no PP (LSD)

Early car at £24k - later car at £25k.

Planning on keeping it for 6-8 months and will probably cover about 5k miles. Is the later MCT box much better than the earlier 7G? Will I miss the LSD if I don't get one that has it? Most important is which will be the easiest to sell on. Would many people choose an early PP car over a later non-PP?

Cheers.

Interesting point but most of the cheaper C63's have pretty high miles which doesn't really bother me but in the mileage obsessed UK it will probably put of potential buyers.

Yeah I know the non-facelift PP doesn't have the slightly more powerful engine but it's got the bigger brakes, stiffer suspension and most importantly the LSD which makes a big difference to some people.

Do all facelift C63's have the MCT box or do some still have the 7G?

Thanks for the help.

A facelift PPP is about £7k above my budget so the comparison is between a fully kitted low mileage early car in my favourite colour combo or an early facelift non-ppp car with no LSD and higher miles.

The interior is a bit nicer in the facelift car but I'm used to riding a Ducati so the interior is a step up from that regardless!

Is the box a night and day difference? I've never driven an MCT car but have experience with the 7G.

Thanks.

I'm torn now :-(

Does the 125 edition have the MCT box because every advert on AutoTrader says they have the 7G but they're all facelifts.

Went for a 125 Edition coupe in the end. Very pleased :-)
