ANd im trying to find the perfect car ahead of time (well maintained and not a savlage title is not, but you can't always have that.)

I am selling mine for 10k. https://mbworld.org/forums/mercedes-vehicles/239207-1998-c43-sale-10-5k.html

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

bagelsjustbagel

Well i live in California, San Francisco ot be exact, but if your still trying to sell by August, and lower it about 1.5k You have me to buy the car.

And for the record there are about 4 on the SF craigslist going for around 9k

midasmike

i just checked craigs list in san francisco. no c43's for sale. i have a '98 white over 2tone. all options, 160K mi. could be for sale soon. looking for a c55. if i find one, the c43 goes.

FLYNAVY

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!

bagelsjustbagel

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 =]

FLYNAVY

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.

i have one for sale with 73k miles, black, 98 with 2tone interior. check club202 for more details and pix. thanks

jmg1848

I am looking for one also, I live in SoFla and prefer the single-tone interior.

silence

i'd sell mine... heh

AMGJared

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.

Z06EATER

yea thats true huh?

svt ricco

jmg1848

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.

AMGJared

You're an example Rico... what happened? Onto bigger and better things?

silence

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.

svt ricco

hey jared,i'm not and will not sell my c43!
the one i'm selling is my friend's. this is my first amg so there's sentimental value involved here.
how's it goin' over there?

AMGJared

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.

bagelsjustbagel

hey svt ricco. Can u give me the link to your car's pics. i cant seem to find it. Also, SILENCE. Any pics of your gcar? also some stats on milages, aftermarket stuff. and location would be nice. also price?

svt ricco

please check out club202 classifieds..pics and details are in there. thanks

SeeKlasse

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

bagelsjustbagel

yeah id liek to take it too. But i only have about 9k to budget. Not 15k. =[, and that interior is SO CLEAN AND EXCELENT.

svt ricco

hey its not 15k, that was an old post my friend lowered the price to 13k. if you want to talk to him about the price i can pm you his number if you want. just tell me. i'd be happy to help both of you

svt ricco

i just checked the classifieds and its still there... first page entitled black c43
