'98 C43 AMG. Obsidian Blk w/2 tone slvr/blk interior
as these cars turn the decade, it gets ever more difficult to find one with less than 80k. mine had 78.6k miles on it when i got it, but the guy i bought it from, who owned it for 4 years, drove it a total of 5k miles in that time, saving my car from the tens of thousands of miles which should be on there now...

good luck.

I'd be skeptical...that AMG badge looks like the previous C36 one and not the right one for the vehicle.

Yeah you MUST look/examine/dissect this one carefully live in-person with a complete PPI in mind too. Try not to buy it sight unseen. You never know these days...

From the pictures, yes the AMG emblem is a pre 97 design and one of the headlight wipers is broke. Does look like it has the rear fold down seat and factory cell phone. Nice color.

There are a few with similar mileage for less money, 12k is pushing the value for a 1998, but I assume you would offer 10k or 10.5k for it anyway.

hmm yea just noticed that, thats totally weird, maybe the previous owner debadged it, the badge also looks a bit out of place too, maybe its just the angle of the pic


there was another blue one far sale in bay area not to long ago with 40 something on the clock, was going for 15k

I dunno why but that badge is annoying, Im picky like that
