Yeah, seller will have a pretty hard time getting that much for it, regardless of condition/mileage. I'd think somewhere between 10-15k would be a bit more reasonable given the current market, and how much more AMG is available for that price......though of course there could be the right buyer who is specifically hunting for this exact kind of car I guess.

the price is a bit high but the car is mint and i love this car, it was a dream car for me growing up overseas, and every time i looked at them i wanted one, i look at the c63 and C43 when they are parked in the garage and for some reason the 43 has more meaning to me.

Its a real GEM and unbelievable low mileage. I agree if I had the money I would buy it. I don't care if it's over priced as it may be the ONLY C43 with less than 30k on it in the WORLD.

Yeah there are definitely some equally low mileage C43's out there. Some on this site even (though I don't think the owners post regularly). Regardless, pretty hard to find on the market these days, as most of those folks aren't planning on selling (hell I wouldn't have sold mine if it hadn't been totalled 
). I hope one of these time machine cars is still around when I decide to get back into w202 AMG's....all around best car I've ever owned, though the e30 M might take the lead someday....

Wayyyyyy over priced. 18K for any W202 is beyond silly. I would pay $12,000 at most for that. Great find by the way. God's willing it will go to a good owner.

I'm not saving mine for the next owner.

Exactly...these cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed...they will never be worth a ton of money so why let them sit around and not collect the miles.
Pretty cool for prospective buyers to be finding a few low mile ones around for the taking tho... Great time to be a buyer.

Gone but not forgotten C36
It's a dealer so ya, expect them to jack up price so you can negotiate it down...I'd bet in this market you might be able to talk them down to $14k plus fees...If I was only back in the states!!!

That still seems a bit high to me. Last November, I paid C$9k for mine, with about 230,000km on the clock. Body was a bit rough, rust spot on a door, fenders, needed a front bumper reinforcement. I've since painted it (and two f&ckers have since given me two door dings too!) but it still needs brakes and tires to be optimum. I thought the price was about fair for what I got.
I saw on kijiji another local C43 listed for sale with about 260,000km mileage, asking C$13k.
In comparison, I've seen a bunch of C32s listed in Calgary in the low 20k range, but going up from there. The best must have been a blue one with only 45,000km, the last asking price I saw was C$23,500. If I was in the market for a C32 I would've jumped on that one, but for about the same money I'm seeing the first CTS-Vs now, cheap way into 400hp. C55s are getting into the lower 30s now, but I think the smart bet will be to wait for a C63 in 3-4 years that will hopefully be in that range too. My understanding is that with some software mods, one is looking at 500hp or so.
Everything seems to cost more here than in the US unfortunately!

I am betting they will be around $30k for a good one, I can't wait
