Feeler--parting out a low mileage C43
Wrecked my C43 and it's probably going to be totaled--repair cost well in excess of value.
The whole car *was* in mint condition and only 65,000 miles.
There are many good parts that will be available, feel free to let me know via PM or in this thread. Motor/trans are excellent, tuxedo interior is intact/pristine except the airbag and drivers seat belt; side skirts are good, Monoblocks with fresh Goodyear Eagle F1s, let me know what you might want--switches, mirrors, AC, brakes, AMG floor mats, door panels, seats, etc.

oof, that sucks for you. But good for us. Hope you're not hurt.
What color is the interior and by tuxedo do you mean designo?
What size are the Monoblocks? Stock 17" or 18"?
How warn is the steering wheel? beside the obvious lack of airbag is it in pretty good condition?
Do you have the wood trim or the carbon fibre, and do you or anyone else know if your climate control unit will work with a 95?
Did you have xenons/are they intact at all?
Thanks!

Hi
1- Factory AMG C43 suspension, as far as I can tell right now the suspension is undamaged except perhaps the front right control arm(s).
2- 2 tone interior--black with ash (inserts in seats are light colored leather, the rest of the seat is black). Dash, door panels etc are black, dash trim is wood.
3- I would rate the steering wheel at 85%, though it needs an airbag.
4- 17" Monoblock wheels with a full size spare
5- No xenons, sorry. Pretty sure the headlights are intact, as are the fog lights.
6-Wood trim inside, carbon fiber on the B pilllars on the outside
7- Not sure about the climate control, but I dont see why not, they are both 202s.
Would add to my above post that the headlight buckets are good, most of the damage was front and rear bumpers and front right corner, with some damage at the right rear corner. Doors and trunk are unscathed.

Black with ash??? Wow I've never seen that before! Mind posting some pictures or pming or emailing me some? sounds cool.
I may be interested in the steering wheel. Is it the black/ash configuration?
Also if you are going to put of pictures of the ash interior, mind getting the wood in some? I need a replacement for the rear driver door, and if i upgrade the climate I'll need yours to make it fit.
Also did you have any upgrades? Spoilers? Taillights? Any nifty tidbits that would fit other 202s. Did you have the white faced gauges?
I'm sure I'll think of other things too.

Cool. I may consider just buying your whole center console then....
I have that too. Does one of the armrest lever open one and the other open both, or do you have to open the top, then press the front part of the latch to get to the deeper one?

Never mind, wanted to see if my friend would buy the whole car coz he was interested in a w202 project but he backed out.
How much for front bumper and bumper bracket. Separate and together...

sounds like airplane
I'm interested in the the plastic/carpet trunk pieces (the big trim pieces on each side that contain the cutouts for the tail lights and extend all the way to the back of the seats).
I'd also consider picking up the glovebox depending on condition

Sorry about not getting back sooner, it's a little hectic here right now.
Checking on this, will get back with you guys.
-Front and rear bumpers are damaged--tell me more about what you need regarding the brackets?
-Glovebox is mint.
-Mats are in very good condition as is the carpet.
-All glass is in mint condition.
-the trunk side mats and carpet are in excellent condition
-Re the motor, let me know what exactly that means (mounts, ecu, cover, "bolt ons" etc) and we need to work out the detail of "who pulls it and who ships it?" and is that part of the price?
The car would actually be a good fixer for the right guy with some connections, some skills, and some time...
