This is how the C43 should have looked when delivered from factory!
If you click the picture, see all details on each picture.
Rear windows are tinted, and that Fu-k-r who ows the car has a power rear blind as an option from factory!
How stupid can a person be tinting rear windows?
However it's a beautiful car!
It's been for sale for a long time now.

Indeed it is a very nice looking car. Looks like mine apart from the 18" and the tinted glass and the rear badges. Asking price is reasonable considering the low kms on the clock,
P.S. They could have put the underside rear photo the right way up...

I didn't know it was stupid to tint your windows? In Texas you cant live with out it. 109 degrees F. will eat your interior to death and the car will not cool off at all during the summer, even with air of full blast.

I mean it was stupeeeeeeeed for that owner tinting his rear windows when he uses a power rearblind!
Now that option is useless for him in dat silbermetalik C43!

you don't have a power rear blind in the US for C43, it was never offered as an option!
This hardcore option was only a special for european cars!
It's rare to have this option on a w202, many european c43's have it but not all of them.
Mine doesn't have it and I'm going to retrofit this power blind on my car to make it almost fully optioned!
This was an expensive option, therefore only luxury Benzes had this fitted from factory for US market NOT w202 if it wasn't retrofitted by the owner?

I was told this power rear shade costs $1800 bux new at the stealership????
Scammers ´R´us!

Then you also need a new centre console cover.
I am going to retrofit this option next year in the summer, my car is in hybernate for now.

Take a look at these parts.

Weird I didn't know the US market w202's didn't get this option, thats a bit odd to me because US buyers tend to spend what ever it takes to out do each other. Haha. Oh well, good luck with the retrofit and do post some pictures once its up and running. I do miss the rear shade from my W124 and W210.

I do have it in mine.... Love it and I keep it up practically all the time as it cuts out sunshine and light glare at night. And people behind get thinking who is the "big shot" or "d...k" up front
