Don't have a Mercedes right now...
On the market for a good C43 or C32
Hi guys,
I have been a Mercedes fan since I was a kid but never made it owning one. I feel that now it is the time to finance one. What I am looking for is:
1) A 1999/2000 C43 with <60k miles (up to~$18-20,000)
2) A 2002/2003 C32 with <60k miles (up to~$28-30,000)
If anyone knows any car for sale I would appreciate it to let me know.
By the way, I had the chance to test drive both cars at dealerships and the C43 seeamed to be more responsive at low RPM, is it true or just my idea? I haven't had the chance to speed with the cars so I can't really do a fair comparison.
Thanks,
Chris

How bout a C43 with a E55 swap 
I have a '98 C43 with a 5.4L engine swap from a 2000 E55. Eninge has about 15k on it and I also just swapped in a E55 tranny out of a '99. Body has 83k but eninge and drivetrain are practically brand new. Let me just say that I've never felt anything with as much low end torque as a C43. With the swap its no comparison. If intereseted email me at djkev28@sbcglobal.net
