For the C32 guys

As some of you are aware, I used to own a C32 prior to my C55. I was going through some of my old car material and found some C32 memorabilia I had kept over the years and thought I’d share it. I have much much more – especially reviews and comparisons. Here is some of it:

Here is an old MB Canada configuration of the C32 years ago when our dollar was worth crap. Also, a picture of the C32 I've always liked:


Note the base price of the C32 back then - $67,850. The base price of the C63 today is just $63,900.00. Adjust for inflation and you're miles ahead...

Who would have thought the car would lose 80% of its value in 7 years. 2008 C63 in 2015? Thanks for sharing.

Interesting, I don't think the US models got the heated windshield washer option??

Thanks guys. Here are some more from the original AMG brochure back then:

It's stuff like this that fueled my infatuation for this car and indeed AMG in general. When I purchased my C32 I was like a kid in a candy store; it was something very special!

Thanks wawy. Appreciate you sharing your stash of goodies!
Been collecting pamphlets and articles since first researching the little sleeper on C32life.

Don’t tell Newzchspy I’ve a NOS 46-page ‘04 MBUSA W203 brochure in the reference library. ;)
