Well, I know what you are talking about. I would never go to a dealer and ask for a testdrive – especially then, when I know, that I am not able to buy the car. I would be to embarrassed. But otherwise the dealers shouldn't allow to testdrive a brand new car. These are absolutely sad stories.

Blame the dealer not us

blame the dealer my butt. I've been doing this for 13 years. You try and ask someone, "oh by the way, are you a legit prospect?" The real prospects will be offended. We had a guy just pick up our 1st C63. He is in his 30s and with shorts and a t-shirt, you'd never know this guy has the correct change, but he does. You have to assume anyone and everyone is legit, if they are of legal age.

That's why those who go in for joyrides make me sick. If you've got the ability to buy, and there is a chance you'll buy the car, then by all means drive it.

otherwise, how about getting a life.

^Lol

That's not what i meant btw,what i meant is the dealer should offer a demo C63 with over 2K miles on the clock for test drives

I agree with TennMB (TO A DEGREE) which is why I didn't say anything about trying to drive one right now. This car is too hot and too new for joy rides right now. Now when I go for service they sometimes ask me if I want to "see" anything, I'll run the C63 AMG by them next time and see what they say.

That said I think it is a little overboard to say that someone should "get a life" because they're a car enthusiast and they want to drive their dream car. It could give them something to aspire to, improve themselves so they can come back and buy. Hell it could inspire them to go into deep debt to buy one, what does the dealer care. Hell a sale is a sale to them.

On the other hand that "get a life" remark doesn't improve the sleazy, shovel-footed image most people have of sales people. There is some middle ground.


M

The C63 Im going to drive is owned by Mercedes in Germany. They have this so called "Ontour" and this tour is visiting every MB dealer in Sweden. When its over the C63 is going back to Mercedes in Germany and wont be for sale.


Its a nice markeeting trick and a good attempt to create an intrest. It will help the sales here in Sweden.

hey tennmb

firstly i did not go for the test drive the dealer sales people came to me as they no i like to buy mbs and whenever they launch a mb they bring me one to test and 7 out of 10 i buy the type off car they bring

but this time my family is against it due to the power the car i had had already 7000kms and i did not take it for a cheap thrill.i was definately intrested but my dad wont allow me a c63 amg becuase he says it could kill me..


also i dont see anything wrong personelly with anyone going to drive a demo its like a perfume tester its their for you to test and see if you like it or not

Lucky bastard!

Nice review!

There's a black C63 AMG up at the local dealership sometimes. Problem is the few times it has been there it has either rained like crazy or the car was reserved for a serious customer. Looks like I will never get to drive it.

hey wimmer dont give up its one ride and reviw you have to do for yourself and for us to read your reciev on the great car

Thanks. It's only over when it's over!
