C63 Estate

[Lazadude]

Hey All.

In the market for a used C63 to update the family wagon from the current hot Saab.

Been doing a fair amount of googling, and so far have decided that I want the LSD and Perf Pack as must have options.

Can anyone tell me what changed in 2011 apart from the external look stuff?

Also, are there any issues with 50/60k miles on the 6.2?

Looking for a face-lift, outside doesnt look no where near as good, but where you spend most of the time (inside) the difference is remarkable.

Market is very scarce at the moment and has been for a couple months.

Definitely thinking of getting an official MB warranty with it, and have been watching the approved used pages for a while now. Ben at Winchester MB has been really good looking up cars for me and checking specs/service history.

I didn't even think of an LSD originally, a friend has a CLS63 without one and it seems to go just fine. However everywhere I've looked online, people say it completely transforms the driving experience, now a lot of that could just be internet bluster, but I'm thinking if it has one then that can only be a bonus come re-sell time.

PPP, as it saves remapping a non PPP and losing the warranty, plus everyone wants a race mode in a family car.

As for running costs, current estate goes through a set of MPS4's in 8kish miles on the fronts already, Fuel economy is about the same (averaged 23mpg so far in current family car), and servicing doesn't seem to be too bad. Standard you pay to play level.

I'd seen the MB Winchester one but was after one with a few less miles and not black if possible...but they've knocked a grand off this morning so it's at £27900 now so probably won't hang around much longer

No diff on that - needs the 471 option code afaik. DAB and HK sound nice to have though

Which is why I didn't buy it

Out of my budget, but there's a 2015 Post FL FL, in Blue with 'S' spec, so equivalent of the new PPP and an LSD in Poole...

Just encase anyone was looking at spending a bit more. (Granted its the 4.0 not the 6.3 too :/)
