Looking for first AMG - Advice & Tips

[Blobcat]

Looking at the MoT history that car has some rusty brake pipes for starters.

Also a 2 year MOT in 2012???

“Heavily Modified” comment in 2015

Also failed in March 2006 but not retested until May 2006 ~2,600 miles later...???

To be honest I was out after the two recent tests. I didn't bother to look further!

Yes. With slightly older model you need to wait for right one. If I sell one of Audi which i don't use much i can get into C63 or E63 - reading into them now - 2012 model as less chance of bolt head issues. E63 is much faster but prefer shape of coupe C63. Let see what happens now...anyone here have either of these... what they feel is better as going to keep it for few good years as weekend car.

If you are considering an 2012 E63, you will know it has a 5.5lt Biturbo engine which with a simple remap can achieve up to 700bhp and over 1000nM of torque. No head bolt or cam lobe issues with this engine either It is a blindingly quick car and I'd take it over a W204 C63 every day of the week even though they are a fine car. The E has more room and is more comfortable.
If you can raise a little more cash, look for a 2013 revised model with more bhp stock and a far more modern look.

Audi A3 2017 is up for sale

E63 VS C63 --- wish E63 came in coupe as don't need extra space but think maybe c63 coupe better for single guy.

AMGreed going through your media gallery - E63 look awesome buddy.

What is wrong with the wings? I'm not questioning your opinion, just wanting to learn!

If you dont need the extra space do you need the extra seats? If not how about an SL55?

sorry a bit slow someone else has answered but yes, clean and not beading the same as the other panels which might be replaced due to accident damage (or if lucky replaced due to corrosion)

best way to decide is too actually drive them - hard to judge on youtube videos
but the coupe is looking ideal incase i do need 4 seat.

Saw E63 on the road today - it really nice but the coupe is winning for me.

Watching Paul Wallace - SOL youtube channel - liking the C63 more
