What do you know about a 1998 Imperial Red C43?
HI! Im Tony, I just bought my first Mercedes recently and Im a car fanatic by nature, so I am curious about this cars rarity and also what I can do improvement wise without devaluing the car. Its a 98 C43 in imperial red, loaded.. hids,cd changer, pretty much everything im told. 78k miles, all original accept H&R springs and coated wheels. Super clean. I drive this car a few times a week and really enjoy it. The power is good, but im interested in suspension upgrades. Any help, suggestions, comments are welcome. Thank you.

No its not from ebay, I bought it from a local collector in VA. His private car, second owner and only has almost 80k miles. Super clean though. Very good condition for a 98. So.. should I change my grill? I dont wanna be to flashy, but I like the mercedes emblem in the grill.. what year grill can I swap? thanks

Is that Maguire's old car? If it is, that car was really well kept and if I remember correctly it has the same Avantgarde grill mine has. If I were you, I would stay with that grill.

It is Scotts old car, you are right. It has a STACK of maint records. Whats the deal with the grill? (please forgive my ignorance ) Avantgarde? Thanks for your input and advice.

Ive been looking for a "better" grill, thinking im staying with the avantgarde grill, its better than a cheap knock off
