Just warning you, anything much below 10k is still going to be sort of rough...at least if you aren't buying in LA or NYC, etc

Not saying you can't find one under 10...there are plenty. But in most cases I have seen recently, they are private party sales, w/o complete docs, and not necissarily mint condition. That's all I'm saying, good luck!

Cool

are u sure you checked correctedly? yesterday i spotted a silver one and a black one. Also, 160k mile will have to be a pretty low price to get me to buy, not that its a problem for me. but resale will be a pain in the *** if and when the time comes.

But some pics of it would be nice =]

Dude, this is a stupid argument haha, but go back and re-read what I wrote. There are plenty of C43's available in your price range.....just not ones that I would want. If that's your thing, cool....all I was originally saying in my warning/disclaimer. I personally wouldn't pay more than 5-7k for a 160k mile C43, at least given the current market.

It's weird how everyone says they love their C43's but then jump to sell as soon as someone says their looking for one.

Agreed.

I'd prefer a lightly modified car, silver or black please >>> maybe white?

I wish they had made em in anthracite metallic, I could get a black on re-painted and then immediately try to sell it.

honestly, i don't want to sell.

however, i would be tempted to go to a C36 and a huge turbo if i could sell mine and get into one at the right price.

Things are good...I know the feeling my C43 was my first AMG too, I miss it. Unfortunately it was going downhill and I had to get out when I did. Right now I am looking at S4's currently (2001-2002) but I tend to change my mind on an hourly basis. Sorry bagels for hi-jacking you're thread, good luck with your search.

yo bagels! svt riccos friend's c43 is nice. i browsed it thoroughly but the deal breaker was that it was 2100 miles away. however, since youre near and the price is good, i would def take a look at it.

happy hunting
