Hold on for a w202. There are limited editions and rare color ones that pop up every once in a while. Designo edition would nice to own. Ive also seen a few 2000 c43s in the last few years.

Designo Edition?? Really!!! How come I never knew this before LOL thanks it sounds like you just pushed my hunt back another six months ha
I stumbled on a 2000 c43 build date was september 99 - it was really clean but unfortunately it was salvaged

Higher mileage, but lower price to reflect it:

ECT - thank you I saw this one last week it's only an hour away from me - I talked to the lady she will barely budge on price l- problem is she barely has any records and she is the third owner plus the car really isn't very clean. so I told her look I'll buy it I just need room to be able to clean it up she's not really having "yet"
Ps - yes I am pretty stuck on silver -I really want to find a silver with two tone ! Second resort will be white,

How does this sound? And anyone know what this trans clunk sound can be?
Current Mileage 198,000 (pasted from sellers reply)
"- 120.379 miles: replaced water pump/ tie rod assembly
- 130.720 miles : changed transmission filter kit/ oil filter/ front pads/ front rotors/ sensor
- 155.245 miles : replaced coolant hose from auxillary water pump to front engine
10/14 Alignement adjustment
He told me that all the maintenance work has been done at a european mechanic shop in San Jose by the same mechanic that knew the car. When hitting the accelarator to hard the transmission makes a noise, according to this mechanic, it's a $200 piece of rubber that doesn't necessarly need to be replaced. I wanted to get another diagnosis on that but never get the chance to."
Sounds fishy -

Have you looked at this one in Playa Del Rey: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst...859387703.html not a Designo interior but it looks clean. I think the owner is on this forum too.
Edit: Here's the link from when he purchased the car - https://mbworld.org/forums/c36-amg-c...r-c43-amg.html

Yep, its a great car but needs a body shop, rear door and 1/4 need to get pulled and sprayed =( front fender needs to be replaced if i want to be really picky.. It has a dent on the lip which can not be removed , headliner is sagging, needs a fuel pump, brakes and tires. I would have bought this by now if I didn't have to deal with body damaged. Im bummed.
