Recent Buyer Review – Simon Welsh on 1st May “Found my ideal 90’s sports car on Trade Classics. Living in Bournemouth and the car being in the Midlands I relied heavily on the advert, photos and videos.
On picking the car up I wasn’t disappointed. Everything was as it had been described. So I got straight into it and drove home. What a drive put a smile on my face.
Thanks very much Trade Classics and I’m now looking out for my next classic to add to the collection.”.

Jo’s owned this car since new and has loved every second. As Jo was getting an e350 serviced by her local specialists, she decided to take a walk around the dealership she noticed the C63 and was instantly attracted; cue the car salesman who could obviously see her eyes gazing at the car, time for him to act. After hearing the sound of the engine and telling her petrolhead son about the car – who subsequently nagged her – she had no other choice but to purchase.
Five and a half years down the line the time has come to find a new owner who will be treated with a full history of the car as well as an excellent condition example. Jo is now using a more practical SUV that suits transporting her disabled mother from A to B. We have a great chat in the ‘Meet the Owner’ video.
This car along with the rumbling engine at higher revs has a sinister look across the exterior. It would be hard to find a sporty car as much as this – black trims, alloys and a hood taken from the black series set the car off beautifully.
Wheels & Tyres
Fitted with AMG 5-spoke light-alloy wheels painted in titanium grey with AMG red brake callipers. Excellent condition Continental tyres with profiles 235/35 R 19 front and 255/30 R 19 rear tyres.
Bodywork
As mention the hood comes from the black series. A panoramic sunroof is fitted to the top and also comes with a small rear spolier. In excellent condition.
Paint
Laid out in white, the car has AMG sports striped in graphite grey. Excellent condition.
Glass and Trim
Both are in excellent condition across the car. There seems to be a slight imperfection with the cosmetic foam along the panoramic roof, this does seem to not effect the seal or runner lying underneath and Jo has assured us she will get a quote from her Mercedes specialist before purchase.
The overall condition of the interior is pristine, a testament under Jo’s ownership. The car is kitted out with heated seats, entertainment and many other features you would expect to find in a well-designed and engineered car.
Seats and Carpets
The seats are in excellent condition and are finished in leather and suede that are stitched exquisitely. AMG badges are also decorated on the carpets and both appear in excellent condition.
Dashboard
The dashboard is in immaculate condition with all gauges and entertainment screen.
Steering Wheel / Gear Stick
The steering is finished in suede whilst the control centre has different driving options from comfort to launch control.
We had a great time in Jo’s car, and considering the brute this car possesses, it is surprisingly quiet when cruising at low speeds with comfort-mode on. Jon detected no issues upon his visit and we are so happy in the office when we see such a fantastic example come through our service.
Engine and Gearbox
The naturally aspirated engine was the last one the C63 used without applying forced induction. The 6.2L engine produces 500hp and can accelerate to 60mph in 4.2 seconds with a limited top speed of 174mph. The 7-speed automatic gearbox is as smooth-changing as can be. The car started first go from cold upon our visit.
Suspension and Brakes
With AMG performance suspension, an ABS braking system the car can firmly be enjoyed on the roads. They have been serviced by Jo’s favourite specialists since new, so no problems there.
The Drive
The car looks and sounds amazing – no wonder Jo was instantly attracted to it. We tested out sport mode in the ‘On the Road’ video and heard the exhaust spit with the windows open, something that would get any petrolhead going.
Electrics and Other
This car is fully kitted out with electrics and due to constant servicing from Mercedes specialists as late as January 2020, there is no cause for concern in this respect. Everything worked as it should on our visit.
As previously mentioned, Jo, has owned the car since new and has used it as a daily driver for most of its life. The specialist dealership as taken care of the car every time Jo has seen the service light flash up on the dashboard.
The car has some extras added that are shown in the purchase receipt of the vehicle: Surround sound speakers, AMG alloy wheels and reversing camera.
Current indicated mileage is 30,937 miles on 19/02/2020.

This Mercedes-AMG C63 507 has it all: looks, performance, comfort and can be used an everyday driver. We are sure if Jo’s circumstances were different she would be keeping this joyful and lively motor. If you are looking for something exciting to drive everyday with all the modern comforts you would expect to see, look no further, this is the car for you.
Jo is a caring owner and has looked after this example incredibly well and all respect goes to her for keeping it in excellent condition.

I’ve just been to the Mercedes warranty website to obtain a quote with a generic c63 as no reg shown. It’s coming just short of £3000 for 12 months! I think a car of this calibre must have a warranty if something was to go wrong. (For instance the pan roof) and near £800 to rectify. Such ashame for a lovely car.
Beautiful car, couple of easily rectified Issues (but potentially costly depending on how original you want the car) but getting hard (Impossible!) to find now with one owner and no accident damage. This is a 30k+ car all day privately and would like for 34-35 in the trade with issues resolved.
Great pictures and write up.
Hi jo, firstly great looking car!!! Looking at some of the comments I’m guessing you have come to the conclusion the only thing that’s really letting the car down are the damaged alloys. Question!! would you be prepared to get this issue rectified before sale? Obviously this is a high value car purchase and this would be an additional expense to any potential purchaser, look forward to your feedback regards neil….
They cannot be refurbed and your looking at £670+VAT at least depending on which dealer each as I spoke to a few Mercedes dealers . The rears are more expensive then the fronts too.
Also surprised the car has no warranty which is around £2700 for the year.
So your looking at around £3500 ish for new wheels ?
Yes you are. Plus pan roof which is in circa of £800 to rectify after speaking with dealer
I must of missed the bit about the roof what’s the issue ?
Yes there’s absolutely no way to refurb these wheels to the original form. Mercedes have advised me I must buy new! These are an absolute premium too. So sadly not for me
Hey everyone – so Jo has asked her local Mercedes dealership on a quote for the wheel refurb – surprisingly inexpensive.
———————————————————-
Alloy wheel refurbishment costs,
£120.00 + vat per wheel.
3 day turnaround to be diamond cut.

These will not be OEM and will ruin the finish.
The wheels need to be replaced OEM as they cannot be repaired and they lose the finish if attempted to be repair due to the engraving of the AMG emblem.
Hey Rocky – perhaps give Mercedes a call (address above) to see what they think. I’d be surprised if a Mercedes dealer would ruin the finish of such expensive alloys … cheers
Hey Adam. This is a known problem with these alloys hence why there are so many questions about the alloys. They are costly to replace around 3k. Rocky.
Just spoken to Harpender on the phone (chap in comments below) and he said these alloys can’t be refurbished too – lots of fuss about it on the net. We’ll have to see what people think and if it’s a big deal fix (which it may be for some people).
Hi,
Any paintwork correction done to the car?
Also when were discs and pads changed?
Thanks
Hi Rocky – no paint correction and everything the car has had done is recorded in the paperwork. The car hasn’t long been serviced and pads and discs confirmed good.
Thank you Adam. I cannot see the percentages in the service report but will take your word.
If you register on our site and then contact us via the ‘Contact Us’ link I’ll be able to share a video of the last service.
Hi can you provide me the service history and registration of the car .
Hello – apologies as we haven’t uploaded the service history. We’ll do that asap and will let you know when it’s there. cheers Adam
Hello Mr Thind – all information has now been uploaded.
Hi Jo,
What is the mileage? And service history?
Optional extras?
Thanks
Hi Shane – the mileage is 30,937. Service history is listed above and we’ll add pictures of the book asap. The extras are surround sound speakers, AMG alloy wheels, reversing camera and luggage bag. Cheers adam
HI Shane – all the printed documentation has now been uploaded.
Hi,
Sadly looking at the pictures, the wheels need replacing as they cannot be refurbed due to the complexity of the outer edge and finish. The pan seal is quite expensive. The guide price you have set is quite strong on this basis. So will have to pass.
No worries – thanks for letting us know. We’re trying to get a quote on the wheels for the new owner.
