advise e63,c63 or cls 500 .......

hi guys hope all are well i have been away on holiday in india for about three weeks so i havent posted.hope all are well.

Ok so i have been thinking for past mounth or two to get a used car i am busy in a deal to sell my white c220cdi avantgarde w204.

I am confused regarding my replacement.
My considerations are either a c63 or e63 or a cls 500.
Well the reason i am thinking off a amg is the prices off fuel have dropped in south africa so it wont be so bad driving a amg.

I owned a c32 in 2003.
My brother says i should not buy a amg he says they are dangerous cars i mantain it depends on how u respect the car and the power.

Initially i was planning on getting a new e class but at launch time the dealers wont be discounting so i was thinking to buy a car for a year and then sell it and buy the new e class.

The cls i personnaly love the car i had a cls 350 in 2005 my family say its a four seater so i should think off a five seater but i ahve my gl320cdi and my dads s class

so guys can i get some advise from teh fellow car fans..

thanks in advance ....

C63 for me. I've driven C63 and E63 and C63 is the better sportscar. E63 is fast in straightline but not very exciting to drive. CLS, I dont like the design.

So C63 for me.

E63 is of course more practical and better ride comfort but C63 is the "bad boy", with a sportier and engaging drive. It all depends on what you are looking for.

An AMG would be stunning. But I would definitely choose the CLS 500 here. The car has more then enough power (especially the last series with the 388 hp)!
Absolutely nothing can beat the design of this car and even the interior is absolutely timeless. Just love it. With some nice gadgets and the AMG sportpackage this would be the perfect car!

C63 all the way.......Will be definitely more easier for you 2 sell, as the C is still verry much current, the E would be a buit of a dicey thing, especially since the new E will be out...You will enjoy the sportscar like feel of the C63, its just a much moree fun car 2 drive..All the best in your decisiobn...

thanks for the responses guys.Yes i agree with ree the cls still looks new and fresh and i love the interior just a pity its not a 5 seater.

I agree with farook regarding the c holding better value but i can get a 06 e63 for 500 thousand rands and a 08 c63 is aroun 600 thotand rands

this is really a tough choice for me i dont no myself where i am going to end as for fun the c 63 is the best but i find the ride bit hard and the rear leg room is less then a normal c

the cls i love but the lack off a 5 seater and the e63 i am just worried the new e63 will come soon...
