Minus the fuel, as you're not getting anything good with a 6.2 V8 petrol but are the performance pack C63 (11-13 plate) worth their money? Currently around 22-25K and I think the estates would be the one to buy.. just unsure if they're actually THAT good?
Love my c63 estate. Noise, drama and even civilised enough for the family labrador in the back. Bought demonstrator car from a MB dealer unseen after listening to the medical car tool around Monaco. Never regretted my impetuosity....despite the car's drinking habits.
Getting a PP version is a good call as the LSD makes significant difference to the way they drive, but if you leave enough aside to fit a Quaife diff then I don't see getting a non LSD car as a problem.
