95, 96, or 97 C36 AMG
Should I purchase a 95, 96, or 97 C36 AMG. I have heard that there were more problems with the 95 since it was the first year the car came out.

97. After looking into these, that is what I am after. Mainly b/c of the 5th gear and 8 more hp. Can't find any C43's here in CO. And the one 97 C36 is at a dealership who is asking too much. That is why he has had it for 4+ months now.

We have quite a few here in northern California. I'd be happy to provide some "remote hands and eyes" if you see one in my area that piques your interest. I could snap some pics and check it out in detail. I'm pretty Benz savvy and could give you an honest assessment. This isn't a professional service, so no guarantees but I've helped others in this way before.

is the 97 5-speed the same as the C43? Closest C43 to me is 300 miles away and the has 64k miles and asking $20k, while There is a 97 C36 with 80,000 miles they asking for $17k for. Was wondering if it is the same tranny that has the hesitation below 10 mph all the car mags say.
