Mercedes AMG 6.3.

[JDog]

Should I,  shouldn't I?

I am sorely tempted.

[scarecrow243]

with cost of repairs nope

[Acerforestry]

Fantastic engine and nice aesthetics, though as above that's all great until you need it serviced or something goes wrong. 

[strimmer_13]

A friend had one. 2k for rear brakes. 21mpg at a push. Hundreds just to service it. Ate rear tyres. And he didn't have labour costs as he owns/runs a garage. 

Personally I didn't find it that fast for 500bhp, pretty much the same bland interior as all other mercs of that age, very quiet for a 6.3 (unless it's a cold start and that wakes the neighbours) and it felt heavy. 

Many, many reasons not too, but why not, you don't live for ever and they have only gone up in price. 

He did say tho that he liked the c350cdi (and I did, mainly for the fact it done 44mpg and was 240bhp) and it's what I'll be getting next for pretty much the same looks, interior and usability.

Hi mate

Sorry to question you but are you really sure ?

Mine was lucky to get 15 mpg - worst i had was 8 mpg

Noise ! TOTALLY INCREDIBLE

The cars are simply awesome - not all good awesome - they bite and slide and dont handle - but for sheer joy - theatre of driving - AWESOME !

 

Do it J Dog - i dont see how you can regret it !

If you want handling and performance rather than theatre and performance go BMW

if you feel the need for the V8 then go for it, i have two Supercharged V8 at the minute and have not grudged them a penny in the last 4 years of ownership.

Yes definitely. 

If you want it have it. 

Less for the nursing home.

Would this be a compensation for other deficiencies?

Of course. It is widely known that I have the smallest penis in the Cotswolds.

There is no answer to that one. 🤣

Men only come in 3 sizes. Small, medium and liars.

Get it bought. Guy on nights at work has one. He’s spent a lot on his and regularly exits the yard sideways. 

[oldypigeonpopper]

Hello, that's a lot of cartridges , but you only live once 🤔👍

[countryman]

My attitude as I’ve got older is if I can afford it buy it.

[Nublue 22]

There's an old saying, how fast can you afford to go? I had a v8 American car many years ago and if you could fill up at the fuel station with your car on tick over I don't think you could fill it up, I felt sick watching the fuel gauge drop, so would I like another? Yes I would just for the rumbling, good luck. 

[button]

Get it bought

[Arley]

Treat yourself, you cannot take it with you

[Lord O War]

Do it, do it now.

[Fargo]

I think the ML63 is a nicer car but I like being up high

[Townie]

The seed has been sown. You know that you have to have it.

very quiet for a 6.3

Remove the mufflers and oh they have a proper bark. Mate of mine works for Merc and has one. It's a beast sound wise. But then it's a straight through system will all moderation removed...

[strimmer_13]

I just found it quiet, inside and out, for a 6.2 ltr. Unless it was cold, and then the bark for the first few minutes woke the street up. And that was a 100% Standard car. I'd rather have the sl or a Porsche for that money

Totally different cars though

A C63 is uber cool 

I have had some quite heavy stuff and perhaps with the exception of a westfield - the C63 was the car with the voice 

[Agriv8]

I don’t recon  It’s any good for sneaking up on pigeons Lincolnshire or Cotswolds - but to stick two fingers up at the work police - why not ! 
 

life is too short to listen to reasonable!

I had a 5.0 grand marquis years ago. Had it for 10 years. Was a lovely car to drive, but it started to get boring, every time I’d stop for fuel folk would say “I bet that drinks abit” or “is that enough to get you to the next station?”

actually, no. It was pretty good on petrol. Best I ever had out of it was 30mpg on a run down to France and back. Ok, if you really booted it, you could watch the needle move, but round town and nice rides out, 20-25mpg…. Give or take!
