It's a dealership
Good luck on that sale - 190K and has rust, only upside is that the transmission supposedly has been rebuilt

You know, it might be OK if you get it cheap and the goal is to swap a 55 motor in it, then miles are irrelevant...
Why is it that every car on the dealers lot was either celebrity owned or the "owners personal car"
Ever notice that?

The pictures are sure small but the trunk rust is still visible (more than just a little rust). Also for a car with no paintwork....the rear emblems are both in the wrong location.

1.) it has a tape deck
2.) it doesn't have the tow alarm
3.) rust on the trunk is UNREAL
4.) looks like it has been lowered (makes me question who was the previous owner)
5.) the steering wheel is GROSS
6.) it has high miles
7.) it has a stupid "special edition" plaque (really makes me question who the previous owner was)
8.) the emblems on the back are definitely in the wrong place (makes me question why???)
and what is that thing located below the tape deck??
All in all I would DEFINITELY pass on buying this C43

ill call up on it and throw them 3500 cash offer. Bout the most theyll get offered. Cars been for sale for a long *** time. Need a car for the wifie as I do her V8 engine swap. And she does bodywork/paint for a living so that nasty rust isnt a problem.
upgrade my C230 Kompressor AMG Package, if it fits, it will work.

Yeah I emailed this guy a little over the holidays.
Another questionable addition to add to the list - In the ad on the dealerships website, it mentioned that this car had a locking diff. Huh??
Also 503, Tape deck? And the thing below it is the MB car-phone unit I believe.
