Interested to know how he managed that Iain, nothing like that on the Motability list.H8OAG wrote:My Parent's next doorneighbour has just got a spanking new one in red...........................On Motability FFS
He must be the Perthshire's fastest Paraplegic!!
The noise is "semi " inducing and old women throw their undergarments on his windscreen wherever he goes![]()

Re: NLC. Merc c63 AMG
Don't know how it works Tut
It sounds like it is a personal contract hire ...,,but the VAT and the maintenance are covered by Mobility to an agreed monthly level
He was allegedly paralysed in a offshore oil related diving incident
Ps anyone can be a C63 owner for £570 per month

Re: NLC. Merc c63 AMG
Many thanks for all the comments to date. I am still swithering. Going to get one out for a run on return from Monza.....
Unfortunately I am neither 'kept' or 'big in oil'. Although that last phrase can be read in a number of different ways
 . So depreciation means I have to look at the older models, pre 2012.....
Gareth, you have a lot to answer for. That and the fact my daughter is now working at the Mercedes garage in Aberdeen and suggested I have a look at one as they sounded awsome....

Re: NLC. Merc c63 AMG
Is the depreciation really going to be that bad on a £33k C63? I only lost £2.5k in a year and 10,000 miles with my last E63 which I thought was excellent for such a thirsty car.

When I gun the XC90 I get 6mpg too - Of the two cars, I know which one I would rather be driving when the noise pedal is required, and it's not the XC90a4drk wrote:My mate had a C63 Estate

Actually 20mpg is perfectly respectable for many people who don't do that many miles - you wouldn't want to do London and back twice a week, but for the typical 100 miles/week, who cares?
I say go for it - you can always sell it again!

Re: NLC. Merc c63 AMG
its got a 6.3 litre V8 - WTF is anyone complaining about fuel economy for?  
 
I dont think anyone would buy one thinking 30mpg was likely!
 
Not the AM 4.3 V8 - that can really show you what sh*te fuel consumption is all about
