Looks interesting.

I can honestly say I have not got a clue where the money is on these.

Without disclosing your source price please perhaps feel free to give us a clue as to what sort of money nice ones part hands for used.

If you don't want to discuss I can of course check elsewhere.

Oh and how does if drive, what's it like to live with?

Wow! Best sound  ever, I saw a C 63 pulling out of a junction on a busy road as me and the Mrs were about to walk into a resteraunt to meet some friends , I made her wait until it pulled into a gap in fast moving traffic.
BEST NOISE EVER from a V8. enjoy :)

the money is around 20k, mine is a 2007, which is a pretty early one (think they were 07-12) is sound amazing and goes so quick its just shocking and handles like a hot hatch, there are cheaper ones about but this is below av miles and one owner, full history, not a mark on the body of interior, its actually pale blue and has alot of kit standard.
figures are 507bhp, 0-60 5secs top speed 155 theres a vid on you tube of one vs an e92 m3 and the ml beats it.
only had it a day but got 22.9mpg on way home (run), 16.9mpg round local and even after a day of showing people its still showing 12.9 so very happy, but thats meaningless as i bought it for power and only use my car at weekends anyway but i was more amazed as i was expecting single figures

Hmm - I shouldn't like it but I do..... A bit if a guilty pleasure car I guess.

And a lot of metal for the money used.

Nice :)

thats what i was like, always fancied the car but honestly though it would be a single figure mpg and ive only been in the car as a toy position for around 1 year, before that i was doing 30k+ a year in the car so was a no no,  i do think it looks better in the flesh than they do in pics, it also feel like a car to drice and on the low suspension setting which it will drive in at any speed its actually so low its more on par with them slighly jacked up volvo estates and the audi all road etc, its got the most comfortable seats ive ever sat in too.

its just one of them cars that i think must be owned at least once, however ive no plans to let this go soon as it ticks literally ever box for me with the family jobs and as im 29 so still not grown up yet! it has power, space,comfort, speed its for me the best of everything, i loved the m3 but it just wasnt big enough.

maybe x5/6m next

Nope.  I got me a SID and a man who can send the appropriate warning letter.
