Who's breaking it mate?

I would be defo interested in the arches and possibly the wheels if your still in contact with the buyer, cash waiting ??

It's being broken by Mark James and Robert Crossland.

Based near Stockport. They are on Facebook and car will more than likely be advertised on there

Thanks mate i will drop him a message :thumb:

So ive found a replacement for the Scooby and put a deposit down,


I decided that after all the hassle of my scoob that I wanted something with warranty but was smart enough to go out in but also a load of fun.


On Friday I went to the local Merc dealer and bough a


2012 C63 AMG Coupe
28k from new
full merc history


comes with 2 year extended Merc warranty and got a great deal on it..


picking it up this Saturday hopefully cant wait.


Ryan

Nice! What colour?

Silver with black wheels and full black leather


Cheers
Ryan

You posh git

Needed to cheer myself up :norty:




Will be a weekend car like the scoob would have been..


still be using my Vectra 2.2 estate as a daily that I paid £800 2 years ago and still going..


Cant have the lads at work thinking im a posh git ;)


Ryan

Very nice! :thumb:

No problem if you'd rather not say, but what was the great deal? £29k?

What was your impression on the test drive? I assume the power delivery was very different to the Scoob!?

Yeah paid just over 29k for it. It's a 125 edition aswell so good price! Plus the 2 year free warranty with merc is worth 3k.

Also merc are doing
All wheels referbed
Any tyres under 5mm Replaced (praying all 4 are :norty:)
Front and rear bumper resprayed by merc.. couple of tiny scuff on there..
If brakes are over 70% worn they are being replaced.

Test drive wise it's the sound of it soon as it goes in Sport + mode it's unreal.. but a proper jeckel and Hyde car.. on way back lifted off a bit and was really nice place to be.. power delivery completely different to Scooby.. just grunt all the way through.

Yeah, buying from a main dealer definitely has its advantages.

Sounds like you got a good deal. And that warranty could save you some serious misery... although the FL C63 is meant to be pretty bullet proof.

Get some pics up after collection. :thumb:

Yep reading up they seem pretty good to be fair..

When it comes to brakes etc will buy them off merc and change myself.. will be getting serviced at merc to keep the history up. Bit of a expense but if I was buying one like most people would want full dealer history.

Bring on Saturday :)

Will you keep it standard? Apparently the engine in the C63 is detuned compared to the same 6.2L lump found in some other AMGs. Software such as Eurocharged V6 will push it up to 520-530 bhp. Not bad gains, 50-60 extra bhp for just over £500. And you download it yourself. Might void the warranty though! :)

Not decided what to do yet they do some nice carbon bits for them but we shall see.

Pictures man! Lovely cars. I've always said I'd move on from Subaru to a C63. Just lovely cars.


You'll be getting through those rear tyres pretty quick I'd imagine! :D

Will get some pictures up when I get it at the weekend :D..


I have always said that if I was to move on from Subaru there was only 2 cars I could choose..


1. Nissan GTR - but way out of my budget for a low mileage one I would be looking for.


2. The C63 - just a all round car for me... after driving it on Friday it just gives you a great feeling..


the E92 M3 was a option.. awesome car to drive and yes better handling than the C63 but something missing that the C63 gives you..
Also looked at Porsche 911 again they hold their value very well and not got that special feeling..




Tyres wise ohhh yeah expecting at least 2 sets of rears a year :norty:...
Not to bad though Black circles £129 a tyre Toyo TR1 tyres so will stick well.


TC off and it has a RS racing start :luvlove:.. so will be burning some rubber..


Just hoping the weather will clear up for the weekend so I can get a coat of wax on it and enjoy the sound of that V8 with the windows down!


Cheers Ryan

So got straight into the mix on the FB C63 pages,


Eurocharge in the states do a module Remap that plugs onto your car takes power from 457bhp - 540bhp.. and for only £500!! cheap power mod compared to scoob!

Stunning car mate. You'll love it.

Thanks Mate,


looking at few interior carbon bits for it.. F##k nothing is cheap..


Got my mates already saying they cant wait to see what tasty mods I end up doing to it.. they know me to well.




looking at getting a Clio 182 cup as a daily and bit of a track car to keep me in the loop on tracks and they are very cheap fun.


Ryan

I agree. Don't expect mods to be cheap!


Are you going to do anything to the exhaust to release more of that lovely v8 noise?

A lot of people do secondary de - cat but I will be keeping all the history / MOTs at MB so may do resonator delete on it..


Do sound mega with them out..


But in sport + mode standard sound mega so we will have to see!
:thumb:


Ryan

Are you going to remap it Ryan be rude not to?

Yep Eurocharge map from the states takes it up to 540bhp.. so will be doing that at some point.


going to get used to the RWD for a bit also want to sell -


1995 classic Scooby I have in no rust which I have been working on.


My Vectra Daily


2002 Yamaha R1 with only 18k on click and 1 pervious owner.




Going to use the cash for all these and put a bit into the Merc for mods :)


Ryan

New car looks lovely.

Do you have any pics of it before you wrapped it?
Thanks
