These cars offer a great package of “insane performance”, sheer luxury, and lasting comfort – and petrolheads can buy them without breaking the bank.
Motor expert Cars with JB has revealed an extraordinary list of five fantastic depreciated second-hand Mercedes cars that offer great value for money.
Mercedes CL65 AMG
The oldest car on the list, the CL 65 AMG is a version of the classic CL 600 with increased specs and more power.
One of the best-looking Mercedes coupes of its generation, the model is fitted with AMG’s ballistic 6-litre V12 twin-turbo engine capable of producing an insane 603bhp.
The car can sprint from 0-60mph in under 4.3 seconds and can reach a top speed of 155mph (electronically limited).
According to the motor expert, the car offers a great blend of power and comfort – and is one of the rarest Mercedes a driver could buy under budget.
The model can be found online selling for around £30,000.
Mercedes E63 AMG
The second car on the list is the Mercedes E63 AMG which was one of the most powerful four-door sedan that money could buy back in 2013.
Sandwiched between the more premium S-Class and the entry-level C-Class, the E series offered a striking balance between luxury and power.
With a sleek shape and a smooth exterior design, the model served as an executive-level car for those who did not want to go for the top-of-the-line Mercedes.
The car packs a powerful 5.5-litre V8 engine that can generate 549bhp and a second-hand model can be bought for around £17,000 online.
Mercedes S63 AMG
The car expert claims that the Mercedes S63 AMG is one of the nicest cars drivers can buy on a budget.
It is the first S-Class coupe model that served as a successor to the E63 AMG of the same generation.
It also shares the same engine as its E-Class counterpart – a 5.5-litre V8 twin-turbo that produces 576bhp.
However, with bumped-up performance and meaner looks, the car is way sportier than other models in its lineup.
The expert says it’s one of the best-looking Mercedes on the list – and drivers could buy a second-hand variant for around £34,000.
Mercedes C63 AMG
The next on the list is the car the motor expert says he would personally like to buy if given a chance.
The most good-looking car out of the lot, the Mercedes C63AMG is all about performance and speed that is paired with a powerful growling sound.
While under the hood it packs a smaller 4-litre V8 bi-turbo engine, it is still significantly faster than all other cars in the list, sprinting from 0-60mph in just 3.9 seconds.
With a rear-wheel-drivetrain, the car is offered in three variants: saloon, convertible and coupe.
But the expert says the coupe model is the best one to go for as it packs the best looks with incredible performance.
A second-hand version of the loud and aggressive car can be bought for around £34,000 online.
Mercedes S500L (2016 model)
The S500L from 2016 is arguably the most expensive-looking and luxurious motor drivers can buy at £35,000.
As the S-Class sets the standard for Mercedes’ level of opulence, this top model variant is all about extravagance paired with sheer luxury.
The L variant of the car offers ample space for the backseat passengers to enjoy their ride comfortably – and also helps the model to classify as a limousine.
According to the expert, the car is one of the best luxury motors he has experienced that comes with a package of modern design as well as intelligent tech functions that elevate the driving experience.
While it is not a sports car and does not focus on performance, the car still packs a gigantic 4.7-litre twin-turbo V8 engine that generates a whopping 448bhp.
So if you are looking for a ride to a high-profile black-tie event, or even for your daily ride, the S500L serves as the perfect motor.
Some of the variants can be found for around £35,000 on online car platforms like Autotrader.
