I purchased this wolf in sheep's clothing from "weekendbob" here, about 6 months ago as a third vehicle, but I've decided to pass it along and go back to a truck. Currently <53,000 miles, and excellent condition.

This generation E63 is truly the definition of German hot rod. 507 hp from 6.2 liters of handbuilt, naturally aspirated V8. If you've driven one, you know. The power is truly immense, full throttle is like lightspeed. And, it doesn't feel like a boat through the twisties with the airmatic suspension.

Just the right amount of technology in this baby, nav, sat, bluetooth, parktonic, keyless go, ipod integration, independent zone air, heated and COOLED seats, without feeling like you're in the Jetsons.

AMG Recaros are literally the best modern seats I've sat in, and blow the lesser Merc seats out of the water.

Car history: Third owner, previous two were in TX & CA, so it's spent its whole life in the south, rust free zones. Maintenance records aren't 100% complete, but show a steady mileage progression and ownership, with several services at factory dealers. I had a $2,000 + complete service done right after taking possession- all the fluids, spark plugs, rebuilt brakes, the works. Car was also just professionally detailed with a hand wax. Car is in very good condition with only a few small blemishes I've noted below to indicate its almost 10 years on the road.

All new Conti's at same time a the major service (<2,000 miles ago).

Issues: very small (<1cm) chip on upper left corner of the hood. Some light white pitting of rear wheels from a bad wheel cleaner being used prior to my ownership (had rear brakes rebuilt and wheels thoroughly cleaned and inspected). Very light wear on driver's seat bolster (no cracks or splitting). Rough edge on passenger mirror, this is a small plastic piece, easily replaced.

Carfax from my purchase and window sticker ($94.430) are attached. A full library of images are available.

Located in Auburn/Opelika, AL, and available for viewing, inspection.

GLWS to a fellow iowan....awesome looking ride.

i've seen and ridden in this car, and it presents very wonderfully in person, and is indeed a hootin' handful, while being ridiculously luxurious at the same time.
to clarify, the seller (my brother-in-law) should update his current location under his avatar, as this car was delivered to the south from the south after his relocation from the upper midwest last year, and the car has likely never been northeast of texas
glws bro!

I'd buy this car in a NY minute if I had not recently replaced one of my two Mercedes E-Class cars with a new car for my wife. This is one awesome car and it is a great price for such low miles and known ownership. GLWS.

achman

contacted twice....waiting...

Do you know why the fuel tank was replaced so early on in the car's life?
