Trade or no trade?

I recently bought a 2013 C63 AMG coupe and i was thinking of trading it in for the FR-S. I have waited for the FR-S for soooooo long and it came out after I bought my C63....What to do? The car has already been paid out, I only have 23XXKM on it, haven't even had it serviced yet.

Opinions?

For the money that car costs, cant you just buy the BRZ on top of your current car? BRZ is a bit Apples to Oranges with the Merc. Im assuming the Merc is over $100k?

Though I just test drove an FR-S today for the first time and loved the handling....

The depreciation on the C63 since new is probably worth the FR-S's msrp...money doesn't seem to be an issue for you. I agree with Tman08 - just buy one.

Does the Lambo have a push-button to start it? If not, I would go with a BRZ.

If this is for real, I agree with the others, keep the C63 and either sell the 370 instead or just buy the FR-S.

The C63 is a monster. I cannot imagine going from that car to an FR-S...

FRS is not a replacement for C63, former is car you get involved and get rewarded(effort), merc is for mindless burnouts and blasts to 150(effort-less). Depends on what you enjoy more.
