C63 Saloon - Leasing

[Twincharge]

Chaps,

I'm about to pull the trigger for a C63 over a two year Lease. I was initially looking at Freedom Contacts, as they seem to have made a few you guys happy and their rates are great. The only problem is the 20 week delivery estimate.

I have found another Lease company called Silverstone Fleet Management, their rates over the two years is about £1K more but they have the cars in stock. I spoke to them today and mentioned the Freedom offer, they have gone away to see what they can do for me. Awaiting a reply.

I'm surprised these come with 18" alloys as standard and no LSD? I am going to opt for the 19" wheels, but can anyone tell me if any of the following items should be considered?

HK 8 Speaker Sound System
Panoramic Roof
Privacy Glass

Anything else I've not mentioned? Is the PPP kit worth the extra?

Does anyone know of any better deals out there? Especially with Maintenance contract?

Lastly, what is the '507' edition? Is this not just a C63 with PPP? Is this available now or due for release soon?

Hi - unless they have it in stock you can no longer buy a C63 with PPP - just the standard car or the 507 - 507 is 507bhp plus body changes such as black series bonnet, black grills etc - its actually quite good value if you compare what you get in terms of comparing it to a standard car with PPP.

You can order the 507 now - I have the PDFs for the 507 with the specs but no way of posting them to the site.

Since its a lease residual value wont matter but if you were buying the HK stereo is seen as a dealer essential and anyway sounds pretty good.

Thanks for the feedback.

The 507 edition looks awesome, I would think this model is around 10K more than the standard C63? Certainly worth it I think, but I do not think my budget will quite stretch to that.

I've just seen some more information and videos on the A45, I have to admit this is very tempting given it is something fresh.

Does anyone know when these will be in the showrooms?

360bhp and 40mpg?? Can it be true?

I have just sold my Cayenne Turbo, so well used to the thirsty V8's though. I'm still leaning towards the C63.

Apparently I may just land a C63 in stock at a dealers, just waiting for Silverstone to come back to me tomorrow morning.
