C63 estate - LSD worth having?
Discussion
mbocuk-amg forum has all the answers you need . Yes , a diff is greatly recommended , especially a after market Quaife LSD . Had mine fitted by Eurocharged in Watford , they often do group discount deals , supply & fit . Talk to Andy/Paul , nice guys . And their remaps are very good too ! MSL are also widely praised by many , think there are up Birmingham way . Have fun .

No, LSD not necesary - just put a few bags of coal at the back.. save a load of money.
You've seen the price of coal these days? OP, what budget are you looking at for your car?
PPP cars are currently gaining value due to demand, especially if the LSD is spec'd. PP cars are not as they have the standard engine but you do get the LSD in the package. Standard cars are slowly depreciating but of course you could have an LSD fitted.
My advice: Even though you could have a Quaife fitted (I did to my first PPP) you will keep your value by sourcing a full blown PPP with LSD on the list. They are rare, but they are out there.
As for the way it drives..... unless you can get 10/10ths out of the car you'll not really notice it on road. Track work maybe!

Ecain, what do you reckon a C63 PPP estate is worth at the moment?OP, what budget are you looking at for your car?

I have C63 estate (62 plate), 29k, every option and I am the second owner. From memory my car was next but one on the production line after yours (the last letter of my reg is an X and yours is a V).
I have been thinking about selling it for a while but am unsure of the value due to never seeing another fully loaded estate.

Lol I'm obviously looking to buy so my opinion will differ however tough times are coming.
Going back to my question tho if you got that today from a dealer how much do you reckon they will advertise the car for? Unless it was with 2 years merc warranty noone would be slightly interested at near 40k.
