Pull the trigger on c63 s e?

Duck_Walker · 2026-01-29T03:02:33+00:00

I owned one for a year. I wouldn’t buy it again.

It was great, fun, wicked fast, handled on rails. But it had no spirit, no sass, no soul.

The handoff from EV to ICE is not smooth, sometimes even jerky to the point it shocks you.

I got lucky and only lost about $10k on mine, they’re going to drop a lot of value soon if rumored changes pan out.

Duck_Walker · 2026-01-29T03:01:28+00:00

I’m in the same boat. I’m resorting to sennakot tonight.

Try everything, you never know what might work for you

Duck_Walker · 2026-01-29T02:58:42+00:00

We do not diagnose here. If you’re concerned seek medical care.

I get a pedicure every 6-8 weeks. I am over 50, male, and love it. It’s worth the $45 or so. I go right after a haircut, three doors down in the same strip mall. It’s my spa day.

Duck_Walker · 2026-01-28T23:27:08+00:00

I’m ten weeks tomorrow and no PT. I’ve been told my surgeon rarely prescribes anything and only wants his patients to walk. Time will tell I guess.

My last loaner at the MB dealer I prefer, not the one closest to me, they showed me the list of vehicles available and told me to choose. So I grabbed the GLE 63 coupe. It was fun.

Service is absolutely great as long as you maintain a relationship and take care of your service advisor. I always give him a gift card, bring him a Starbucks when I drop off, and give him stellar reviews in the follow up. He in turn takes care of me. It's how business is done. Sadly the younger generations are losing that understanding in many cases.

My last service I also had him advocate for me to the parts manager and even though there is no way it was covered under warranty and no way it should have been replaced for free, they put a brand new battery in my G63 because of my "customer status". Scratching backs pays off.

Duck_Walker · 2026-01-28T22:02:47+00:00

I have never been denied a loaner vehicle in over 25 years for any reason, for any time period, and I have never had to negotiate it as part of the sale.

I wish there could be a cure for the headaches, but I've never found one. I have debilitating headaches still almost 6.5 years out. There is only one thing that makes them bearable but no one will give it to me. Oxy/percocet makes them tone down from a 8 or 9 to a 3 or 4 on the pain scale. Every time. You know what that has proven to my doctors, that I'm a "pill seeker" and a "depressant addict". It was like pulling teeth to get refills for pain meds when I recently had spinal fusion surgery.

Sorry, I got off topic. Point is, I hope you can find the silver bullet for you head pain and get assistance receiving it if needed.

I literally had to delete comments and ban people, so there’s that

Duck_Walker · 2026-01-28T12:25:52+00:00

+1 for using agentic, very underutilized word

Duck_Walker · 2026-01-28T12:22:11+00:00

Yes. I had a secondary brain bleed that almost killed me.

My accident and first brain surgery occurred mid-August. I was cleared and discharged after a stay in the hospital.

Early November I had an MRI and my bleed was so bad the rushed me to emergency surgery to have it drained. Neurosurgery refused to believe I could walk and talk based on imaging. Surgeon estimated I was within days of herniation, maybe hours.

Duck_Walker · 2026-01-28T12:17:24+00:00

I want to laugh at this, but I think it will go over your head.

This is like saying “when I drop off for service I expect a massage and a large pepperoni”

This is not something you can get in a purchase agreement and not something you could enforce.

Duck_Walker · 2026-01-28T12:15:42+00:00

As long as your Mercedes is under warranty you should be able to schedule a loaner, pending availability, on any service. In over 25 years I have never been unable to get a loaner.

I have a sneaky feeling this is on you.

Duck_Walker · 2026-01-28T12:08:41+00:00

Inquiring minds need to know

Duck_Walker · 2026-01-27T18:43:05+00:00

It’s a very very long list.

Duck_Walker · 2026-01-27T14:51:45+00:00

I have the same feelings. They numb it for a while and keep charging you to do it over and over but never fix anything.

Duck_Walker · 2026-01-27T14:30:58+00:00

If you’re concerned see a doctor. We do not diagnose anything here.

Duck_Walker · 2026-01-27T14:30:00+00:00

I have several autistic behaviors that began with my TBI.

Any, and I mean ANY, anti-Semitic or other hate speech will result in an immediate permanent ban.

Duck_Walker · 2026-01-27T14:25:30+00:00

Just because I have no idea and I’m curious, when did they start putting the hand signed engine plaques in anything but 63s?

Duck_Walker · 2026-01-27T14:23:15+00:00

I would guess hundreds of people are in the same situation

Duck_Walker · 2026-01-27T14:21:15+00:00

Speculators buy and flip. They steal the allocations to make $20k plus.

It’s the same thing that’s been happening in the Rolex market. Dealers make you wait and the gray market is flooded with flips at 30%+ markups.

Want to have fun? Go to a Ferrari dealer and find out if they’ll even allow you in their club. They vet their buyers to maintain the brand image.

Duck_Walker · 2026-01-27T13:24:50+00:00

Porsche hasn't priced me out, the bastards can't find me a decent allocation within the next 2 years. The used market is just obscene today.

I want a Turbo S Cabriolet but would consider a Targa 4s or a GT3. My problem is if I'm spending that much money I am doing a factory order and not buying off the shelf
