Why is it soo hard to find a c 32 ! I am set on this car, I love the style and everything about it but I just cant find one. Is it a rare car or is it just hard to find a decent one with under 55k miles. I notice as well that the main colors are silver and black so I take it the other colors are really hard to get? I guess i'll wait it out intill one becomes on the market.

in most cases All AMG's are rare. Keep looking you will find one. Try ebay and have it shipped to you.

VW for now
I would need to trade in my current car vw jetta gli, before hand. I just ripped so many parts off the car so its finally back to stock after working to take everything off of it for a week.

Worse comes to worse ill try to see what car-max will give me for the vw. I plan to stick it out for this car before I get something I will regret. How are these cars as they age, reason I ask is mainly all of them for sale have high millage.

03 g35 coupe...........02 c32 Sold
there rare because i believe they only made 8000 c32's world wide and only 3000 came to the US. Most of them came in black or sliver. There are some white and red but those are extremely rare. Engine wise, the c32's are pretty reliable.

There only down fall are the electrics..like all german cars. Most of the problems are common through out the w203 line.

Be patient...I waited over 9 months looking for the 'right' C55, found it and flew half way cross the US to buy it. Know what you want and don’t settle for anything less.

I think a member has a blue C32.

See if you can't get one with a blue or red interior!

C32 AMG
They're all in Chicago! lol
Yes these are rare, but not rare enough to hold a decent resale value. Bad for those of us who purchased a few years ago, good for you.

What do you like about the style?
I didnt know C32's were so trendy............

I'd hardly call myself a trendsetter

All jokes aside.... Wait for the right car, it will come. I have seen Merlot Red(Callimax), Black Opal (04BLACKC32), the mighty Desert Beige Metallic and even Green. They are out there. As Turbo says get a warranty (cos u would need to with any german car just as the VW.)

One of my favorite colors is Orion Blue, very rare. Turbo16lbs likes the Tectite Grey Metallic, both made in 2002. Also Mars Red (2002-2003) is available.

Or hold out for the ultimate in C Coupe fashion..............Paprika.

I will just wait and hope that one day I will find one that is at a decent price and decent millage theres a white one down here for sale thats 4k over blue book guys taxing. If I were to get one, I would have to buy an extended warranty or do you think it will come with the car?

Yes, stick with what you want and you should be able to find it eventually. I have a Capri Blue model!
