Modern fun - 2012 Mercedes C63

[Tp81]

I have looked at these for sometime, a neighbor used to have a silver saloon. Lovely looking car with an incredible engine 6.2l V8 . Don't see prices falling off a cliff so thought it would be fun as a second car for my wife and potentially a good car for my son in the future. Nice one to keep.

Waited for my preferred spec, Black or silver with silver wheels, performance pack which takes the power to 487hp (457hp std) and factory fitted LSD. Relatively low miles and no modifications.

Managed to find a black 2012 Coupe with 34,500 miles with the must haves I was after. It has now been polished / detailed to an inch of its life. Interior leather and plastics stripped of silicon (why do they spray cars with this stuff). Interior now feels like leather and doors and dash are matt again.

Winter tyres will be going on this Tuesday.

I involved my son Ben in the cleaning process, he has well and truly bonded with the car.
