My C43 is done

Unfortunately it has been taken away by the insurance company and never to return.

I was able to rip my stereo out and the entire supercharger setup out. They have the 2-tone interior and C55 staggered wheel setup.

Not sure yet what I'm going to be in the market for next.

Figured some of you would want to know, I haven't posted much in years. Just been enjoying my car etc..

Anyone want an HPS GEN 1 supercharger setup that actually works? I am 90% that I'm going to sell. Somewhat tempted to buy a minty ml430 and install.

Yes, fire. I'm sure they will auction it. Do you know where/when/how to figure that out? Would be a decent starting point for something wild. Probably not worth it for me vs. the market value of a nice CLK55 or similar though, but tempting. I hate that they are getting my wheels.

Car was idling in driveway and caught fire. Back passenger side of motor. I suspect a mouse made a nest or something. Really shouldn't have happened. I was able to put it out but lost enough.

If I do buy a CLK I'll be looking for the same wheels. Maybe I should try to go to the auction. No longer own a car trailer though.

Yes, Insurance Auto Auctions (IAAI).

https://www.iaai.com/Vehicles/Vehicl...59&RowNumber=4

It is not scheduled yet, but that auction location is also public, so anyone can bid, not only dealers. Someone local can be very lucky. That car being a 99 model in that condition, i don't think will go too high, $1000 -ish maybe.

I got my last c43 with some front suspension problem for $900.

For whoever wants this, just a heads up that's been scheduled for auction in 11 days.

Thanks for the heads up. I may want to get the car. How was the fire in engine area or did it get the interior too
