Yeah.... & from everything I have read/heard, the AMG engines are bulletproof, another plus for buying one used with peace of mind. Also, for some reason, I feel that a one year old C63 is less likely to have been abused than say, a used M3 -- different buyer demographics for the cars. Two reasons to consider used on the AMG's
