Most all V's sold are loaded, I'd guess the same for the C63. The C appears to be at least 10K more w/ similar equipment. Yet as you and I both showed, used they sell for about the same.
Next, I was talking new car transaction prices, ie is everyone paying sticker, 1k under invoice, 1k over MSRP, I don't believe you know that nor do I. However, I know V's can be had for under sticker.
I don't "own a high end auto store" but I know the CTS-V does not have a problem with resale........

A manual trans, Recaro'd V is holding value like a mofo on the secondary market.

After all the fun discussions I want to share that we purchased a 2012 E550 Coupe. It's a great vehicle.
Not as fast as a CTS-V or C63, but it's a sleeper. Rated at 402 hp, it's actually about 454hp (395 wheels) when RENNtech dyno'd this engine (M278). After a pump gas tune only it's about 530 hp approx (gotta love the biturbo engines). The torque numbers are great.
Set to Sport it handles very good. The brakes are better than earlier models because MBZ increased front disc size.
Almost forgot: about 30 mpg Hwy (steady driving) and 19 stop & go city.
Sticker price was over 72.
Best news: wife loves it!
