Cookie's 2013 E63 AMG

[Cookie]

No thread asking what car I should buy this time, because until last week (maybe Thursday) I was 100% going to buy an E90 M3 (because @Sir_Dave got in my head)

Then @Scrooge linked to a nice looking E63 that was far away. So naturally I abandoned months of completing AutoTrader looking for M3's and bought the Merc instead.

Dealers pics since it rained all day yesterday, it's nice today so I may take some later. Did 250 miles in the Civic to collect this from Warrington, then maybe 290ish back in the Merc via @Scrooge 's house for him to approve or disapprove, then home. Left home at 8am, got home just before 9pm.

So what is it.. 2013 E63 AMG with Performance Pack. So it has red brake calipers.. and an LSD (and other s**t). Oh and more power. Because 525 isn't enough

It's had a ridiculous amount of money thrown at it in the last year, and probably won't need brakes for a while.. or tyres (depending on how it's driven)

It's done 77k (I think) and I'm the 4th owner now

Also, in love with this car, and I really like the debadged look. Airport taxi yo.

This was part of that journey yesterday once I'd escaped Warrington and stopped death gripping the steering wheel in the torrential rain. I'm definitely doing this AMG thing wrong

Oh and I know it'll probably cost me a lot to run, but I don't care.

That's very nice.

 

[Scrooge]

A proper purchase!

 

[ChrisR]

Looks lovely

 

[TomSx]

Slight upgrade. Love it!

And there's me in my shitty diesel. Do you mind asking what you paid? Or PM me.

EDIT. For reference my 350 sits at an average of 37mpg so 28 is absolutely stonking!

Just under 21k. It's made @Scrooge feel bad for how much he paid for his

Wow, lot of car cod the money!


Super cool buy, enjoy it

Fantastic Tel!!! Top job there fella!!

 

[JamesBryan]

Which dealer in Warrington was it?

 

[Cookson]

Are you going to put some "ini, blud" wheels on and delete the backboxes?

Top work. Very jealous.

Fresh plates next. If it were mine I'd have the badges back on the wings but leave the rear.

Select Motor Trading on Owen Street, near the big Tesco. Really nice guy to deal with (so far)

Very nice mate.
Thought I recognised the location of the pic’s, I bought a 520d of them a couple of years ago.

They always seem to have pretty nice cars in there.

Yeah it’s just round the corner from the garage.

Might go & have a look what he’s got in there it’s only 2min from me.

When you pulled into the paddock next to me at CSF and your brakes were billowing it was a sure sign you'd kicked its c**t in??

Are you on P Zeros? That's what I'm on and they struggle on mine let alone yours. They dont seem to wear though which is one positive.

 

[massivewangers]

That's cool as fudge!

 

[McGherkin]

At first I didn’t like the early W212 headlights but they’re growing on me. They’re really nice cars.

 

[Maccy]

Looks awesome that, nice one

 

[MarkCup]

Ooft. Nice purchase!

Yeah it’s free, and yeah, worth it. Nothing ground-breaking, but opens up plenty options on your phone
