Does anyone know this car? WDBHA33G2XF861602
VIN WDBHA33G2XF861602
1999 Mercedes-Benz C43 Sedan
74,000 miles
I might go have a look and am also looking for a MB PPI in SoFla (if the car is good).....I had an 01 e55 for a few months a few years ago (anthracite metallic) and enjoyed it but it was too big for me (and I got pulled over ripping it).
thanks

The reason I love (or am fascinated with) c43's (besides the fact I had an e55) is that in high school one of my best friend's had a 16v 2.3 or with a manual, it was such a cool car and made cool noises. Ok, he was a richy, but still, that thing was a sled and possibly the root of my amg addiction(s).

drove it at lunch
black on black with ortho seats and a one-tone interior, has mb phone, 75k miles, pulled hard but not shockingly fast like my e55 was (the e55 I had was so big and fast, that big accelerations felt almost dangerous)
tires were bald
all 4 wheels were cuffed
went into R without jerking around
pulled good through gears
air pumps for driver seat didnt work
brakes stopped car straight and well
little interior rattles
all 4 doors closed well but not like my range rover doors

This is a great conversation I am having with myself, thanks for all the support and information. Paying $260 for a 32-point inspection tomorrow and am waiting for a price on leak-down test.
More soon, for me, talking to myself.....

This time showing 74,000 miles and selling because " Just got married and need to give up some of the toys."
Previously, it showed 76,000 miles, claimed everything works, and selling because :"I am moving and I dont have any space to keep it."

I've read other posts that say the air hoses get pulled off and need to be reattached.
If you can hear the pump running, but it just doesn't pump up the air bags (like mine), maybe it just needs the hoses reattached.
That's an cheap/easy fix with one from AutohausAZ.com
Humm, won't be long before the A/C doesn't work either.
In the current auction, seller claims "Everything on this vehicle works and is in great shape."
