I love my C63, but as much as i love it and enjoy driving it, it's not the top end car that i have always wanted (life is too short). Hopefully if everything keeps going the way it is now, somewhere in 2011-2012 my C63 will be going away for one of these....

im keeping mine for probably at least 10 years. i dont drive it daily. so far it hasnt even been in the rain. usually only driven on saturdays/nights. occasionally week nights to dinner. i think the lexus has lower maintance cost but i didnt let that swing me. my heart wanted the C63 so i got it. i think the 6.2 liter wont be around long so i think that will make me want to keep it longer plus it will be paid for after 5 years and then why...

I've got a three year business lease but the 6.2 liter V8 is going by the wayside so I'm very tempted to keep this car after the lease runs out.
