Advice on C63 Coupe purchase......so confused!
Discussion
I've been looking for a C63 wagon but can't find any suitable examples. I widened my search for a coupe and found a few nearly new examples (early 2014) with around 5k miles for circa £45k.
After a visit to my local dealer this morning, I was offered a new coupe (standard apart from HK stereo) for £51k.
My head says that a new car will always cost more long-term, but it seems so close to the nearly new prices that I'm sorely tempted. The car lists just over £60k but there is around £8k dealer contribution.
Am I blind-sided by the "saving" i.e. is the list price artificial like BMW's pricing? If most have ppicked up new examples for around £50k then I'm probably better off buying used.
Hopefully my rambling make sense to someone!

Lower VED, much better fuel consumption, great wheels, great sound (see above) etc

a bit like the A45 and the notorious turbo issue.
Hardly notorious. It affected a bunch cars that recieved a bad batch of turbos (feb 14 and there abouts). No damage to the car, just a new turbo and ancillaries required under warranty. No bad turbos since May if info on A45 forums is correct.Just picked up a c63 estate with 10 miles on the clock fully loaded for the wife to run for a couple of years until the new one has been around a while. Been in the motor trade for 20 years with a German manufacturers and never keen on a new model. I receive a new car every 2 months and it would take me weeks to list the interesting and stupid mistakes new builds have had😗

Still shows though new cars have issues.....same as pre 2010/2011 C63s have a head bolt problem.Just my opinion most new models have a re-call so wouldn't fancy handing over my hard earned cash to have to have re-call.
However once the new C63 it's been around for a year then I would definitely have one.....
