Where are all the C63 estates?

[DanX5]

Been monitoring the prices of these for a while and there seems to be fewer and fewer on both Autotrader, PH and Mercedes used car sites. Only ever around 7/8 on any of these sites and many of these have stood around an awful long time.

This means slim pickings for likes of myself looking for a good used one with performance pack.

Quite like the spec of this one but never spent that much on a car and not sure I could stomach the inevitable higher depreciation when compared to one a little older:

Plus I would rather tenorite grey or obsidian black with the optional wheels. Plus the beige interior. I'm not fussy, honest........

Any idea how many were made in each year?

Good question and something I'd also like to know. Certainly the Estates have the longest lead times when ordered new.

As for the car you linked, I reckon that's a pretty good deal actually. £45k for what is a brand new (mileage wise) C63 Estate with PP is very good. I'm sure you could come to an agreement with the dealership regarding getting the wheels changed.

^^^ that estate is VERY well priced. List must be approx £63k, even with dealer discount still approx £57k (and you HAVE to take it on Mercedes finance). Car is almost brand new, no waiting time, and only £45k! I'd be surprised if that's around for much longer.

That is a great price!

When I bought mine in 2010 I was told that they only build 60-80 estates per year and they are all built to order whereas the saloons are quite often stock cars.

Only 60-80 estates a year. Wow!!

Only issue I can see with the car is lack of an LSD (and privacy glass, but that's very much a personal thing).

I think the estates will be future classics. Still got quite a way to fall yet though.
