C63 Availability
I just got back from my Mercedes Dealer here in Portland to look at the C63. They said that they wouldn't have one in their inventory until MY 2010! Is this just because of limited production? They are sold out in 2008 and 2009 here.

Oh, sorry I was thinking of Wilsonville Mercedes, I forgot that both dealers were Rasmussen. You're right, they're definitely not promoting the Rasmussen name that much.
I guess if you decide to get a Merc instead of a BMW, they win either way! |

AMG is just not making very many C63s. My local dealership is only getting three 2008 cars and tenatively only 3 2009 cars, they have one 2009 car available for delivery later this year, likely in the early Fall. The GM told me that the performance package P30 is available for 2009 onward, LSD supposedly. Still getting my E90 M3.

wow, i've seen all the c63 stuff on this forum, but never realized how limited the production will be. that will undoubtedly result in lots of markups that will put some of the ones that we saw on the m3 to shame. i'm thinking socal here...

yeah this C63 is not something they stock locally and take a massive discount at the end of the year like its been done before. The ones coming in are the ones already ordered few months ago and those are the only ones to be shown unfortunately. The car is very rich inside to include the exhaust sound, just not feeling the mpg and report hard ride and handling. But sure is a competitor

maybe the US (dollar) is not as nice as it used to be.
I do agree with (at least for me) that BMW was no-waiting. That could be a problem at resale if they make a ton of M3s but it's great for buying. I ordered 35 days ago DCT and my car is built already. I was thinking about the GTR but they only are bringing 1500 the first year in the US (M3 maybe 10K ?) so it's easy to see the M3 is not as hard to get ahold of. I don't care particularly for the C63 would prefer the M3 (coupe and DCT) but it's also nice not having to wait a year or more. |

I am seriously considering it! Will try to test drive this week. Gawd knows, I'm a classic "torque dork" The C63 is to the Vette what the M3 is to the 911. I've owned a Vette and while I didn't identify with most of my fellow owners, they are nice people and I have made a few lifelong friends in the Vette crowd. I didn't care about the crap interior. Yeah, it was plastic, it was American, but I was just a sucker for that rowdy engine and power. If I drive the C63 and I like it, there is a strong chance...... I don't see myself in a Benz, but, I don't like to think I'd buy a car for its image, or lack of an image I like. I try to buy the car that makes me feel great when I drive it! OK enough rambling.....

C63 E-Mail
So, I [B]finally[B] got some answers. The day I went to see the C63, I sent an e-mail to the sales staff to see if they actually had one. They didn't reply until today so I ended up just going the day that I posted this thread.
Here's what they said: Quote:
Oh and if anyone is interested, they included another build sheet for the C63: Quote:

The only other bummer was that even if you drive up in a brand new M3, the sales team isn't anxious to talk to you... We actually had to approach them to ask them if they had the car there...[/QUOTE]
