Just Bought an 07 R63 AMG

spifffs · 04-17-2009, 01:15 PM

Hi guys, i just finally took ownership of my 3rd amg car. i bought an 07 r63 amg black on black with 26k miles at a local dealership. i paid 50k out the door with t+l and was wondering if anyone knows a good shop that can lower the car. i will post pics after i detail it, and after i get new wheels/ de chrome the whole car, tint, powdercoat exhaust etc. we need to spice up this forum a bit, it seems no one posts here!!!

Congrats and looking forwards to seeing the mods,
Kevin

Give us a call, we can either do a STAR lowering, RENNtech ELM, or both

Just an hour and a half south of Newport

spifffs · 04-18-2009, 01:38 AM

sounds great james, i will call to get pricing i have heard renntech is the way to go because its fully adjustable. and the reason i bought one is i needed a wagon/suv, have seen 20 ml63's before in 1 day in newport beach ca, but have NEVER even seen an r63, mainly i wanted something that was rare, even though i kind of like the ml better. but after i get done tuning the thing a bit it will beat any ml anywhere.

Spiggs, Very Nice!

Congratulations! You got the fastest minivan ever made.

I drove a number of them and loved the combo of utility and power. AMG cancelled them right before I could them for my wife, so she is driving the 350.

If you want more power, I am just up the street.

Enjoy!

congrat.... that was a really good deal. I paid 49k + T&L on mines. and more mile on it. is it fully loaded?

spifffs · 04-18-2009, 08:41 PM

no it had only p3, i am upset that it had no bi-xenons but will add them later, and as for the other two options rear seat entertainment and 2nd row console, i dont care too much as im only 25 and dont plan on any kids anytime soon. but i will add the bi-xenons and fog lights soon. ill post pics tomorrow of it .

spifffs · 04-20-2009, 12:46 AM

here are a few pics in the garage, its still too dusty here in az to take good pics after a detail job, it would only last an hour, so its a teaser to get us started.

spifffs · 04-20-2009, 12:47 AM

more pics

R. Reyes · 04-21-2009, 12:45 AM

Sweet. Very sweet. It's a nice combo of power and utility.

jta00r1 · 04-21-2009, 02:48 AM

So the car is in AZ not Cali? Has it ever been in Newport if it has I think i've seen you in the neighborhood. Nice.

spifffs · 04-22-2009, 12:35 AM

the list of figures quoted by MBNA, AMG, MB DE all have bee slightly different but lower than 50.

My figure came from a sheet of production numbers for MBUSA so who knows and who really cares. Its the rarest AMG either way.

Spifff, congrats on the rare R63 AMG. Sounds like a great deal. To lower the car I would recommend Brabus in Irvine, let me know if you need a recco

AMG1 · 04-30-2009, 10:13 PM

I admire the fact that you bought something unique, compared with flowing with the norm. After you get your mods done it will be the ultimate sleeper! Cheers and happy driving.
