I’ve never looked at used C63 AMG prices before. It’s a rather accessible bad idea.
Mileage is a bit high, but it’s a 450hp speed sedan for under $19k.

Not that bad of an idea.

I barely drive the car I have and I live in an apartment with no garage.

Give me 15 minutes and a decent internet connection, and I can come up with 3 or 4 far worse ideas.

We have an opponaut who owns a C63 and, to my knowledge, also lives in an apartment. Seems to be doing fine.

I was thinking about getting one of those in March of 2016, because they had gotten cheap. Like 24k cheap. Then I looked at things like the price of brake parts and decided it was a better idea if I stuck to one expensive German sedan.

Head bolts.
I got close to looking at a C63 RennTech that was for sale locally a while ago, probably best that I didn’t.

Pads and rotors didn’t seem too expensive on tirerack?

See - here’s one: AMG before they knew what they were doing ... https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/mercedes-benz/c43-amg/2034866.html

I guess I accidentally priced the ones for the car with the performance pack:

Happy accident, because I got laid off two weeks later.

Like I said: bad idea. Worse? I could have searched AMC instead of AMG. Consider yourself lucky.

I periodically search for E55s, and C36s...it’s probably good that I’m out of parking

But it does have one of the best sounding V8's

And, well, there’s this - if you want to be the king (or queen) at Cars & Coffee, just slide back the roof: https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/studebaker/lark/1830277.html

Such a crack pipe price. Great car though.

Do it. I’ll check service history of you really want it. Just do it. You know you want to.

The low mileage draws you in, but the who-gives-a-fuck factor should push you away. Will those ever be collectible? Feh - dunno, I’ve been wrong about a lot of things.

Pretty unlikely I think. But I’m usually wrong about these things

There was one for sale in your neck of the woods a year or two ago, I think. Price was not surprisingly not a lot more than a stock one, compared to the cost of conversion.

I don’t actually need one. If anything I need more ground clearance and AWD. I’ve got the Ducati for when I need my speed fix.

Mostly suspension and engine issues.

Well if you’re wrong, and I’m wrong, then it’s probably an excellent investment. Or not ....
