anybody have any info about this car?

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...en&cardist=685

Why is no body buying this car? Its last model year (2000) with tiptronic tranny , teleaid.

It has been listed there for over a year. the listing started at 29000 and now dropped down to 19000. I know the mileage is pretty high but I have seen MY2000 C43s went for much higher prices in no time.

Is it the high mileage or the car has serious problems? anyone have any info on this car. I am just cruious , not considering to make any purchase.

If the car was put back to stock it would be better. The car probably had the nice HID lamps and I don't know why someone would replace them with what look to be regular ebay projectors. The rims are also tragic...very tragic.

2000's are very nice though. I remember a bad-a*s black one here that was wrecked a little while ago. Oh so sad.

I agree with both of you, very ugly. but those are very minor things. one can put the car back to stock easly. I think the seller still has the original mono 170 wheels. well the headlights were not xenon since there is no headlight vipers.

well the car had been stock for almost a year while it was listed there. and the mileage was around low 90s. since then price went down dramaticaly and the car got ugly.

but i think there is something wrong with the condition of the car. other than i dont see any reason why a 2000 model black /2tone C43 wont sell for 19000.

Factory installed Xenon (low beam only) Headlights come with washers/wipers. When you get this option, you also get rain sensing windshield wiper.
