New c43 owner

so finally picked up the new c43. 1998 with 90k, black on black/silver leather. runs really strong, has a slight shimmy over 65 mph, think it may need the tires balanced. Overall it sounds and seems like its going to be a fun car. Already ordered the clear corners, flat hood emblem and the s600 black grill for it. NEED to do suspension, that oem wheel gap is insane. Tint is also inline too. I will take some pics tomorrow and post them up.

jared, I actually got the car for 12,500. Good deal I think.

Maximus, it is interesting you say that, I was thinking the same, cuz I had the same issue with my S4. I will look into it.
