Ah I see, going up £5k helps with Performance Pack, lol.

@andybond - Been looking some more at C63, what in your opinion are the must have options ? Any years to avoid? The early one's I guess. What year is yours ?

The early ones sometimes has headbolt issues but its not a major issue , unless it occurs for you !

MUST have options for me are the LSD , well , technically you can have it retro fitted. Quaife do one and its very , very good. Everything else is just a wishlist.
I held on for a performance pack plus with every option possible other than rear window blind.

Mine is a very later 2010 model.

two performance packs to watch out for.

inlet it one way , the other is the red calipers AND carbon rear lip.

Calipers could be aftermarket red , but not aftermarket red AND carbon rear lip.

Rather confusingly the ppp has the carbon rear lip , the pp doesnt ...

late engine

 

[andybond]

performance pack plus - so will most likely have the later engine but you MUST check as some didnt

 

[andybond]

note the alcantara on the wheel ? That signifies that the car is either a p30 - performance pack with lsd or its a later car with performance pack plus BUT might not have the diff , or even the uprated power engine.

 

[andybond]

Your best bet is find a car you like. Let me know the VIN and Ill check out the options for you.

Thanks Andy, this is a massive help. It seems paying closer to £30k gets you Performance Pack +.
