Fell in love with the C43 after i saw this movie!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExWXA...eature=related

Romeo Must Die! I remember i had just moved to USA and was 15 when I first saw this movie, and fell in love with the car right away, ever since i wanted one. My first car was a C280 Sport which my brother gave me, and than a 300E tricked out, and when i was 20 i found a C43 at a dealership. put up my 300E F/S and 2 weeks later i bought the C43 and what a blast it has been!

I found a CLEAN 500e the other day asking price was 14k but he was willing to work with me. http://picasaweb.google.com/kjochai/500e# This is my favorite color combo on the W124, its the same combo I had on my 400E RIP. Let me know if you want his contact info. GREAT CAR!

It sounds a bit like my story.
When I was 12 my dad bought a w202 c180 sport with a race muffler;p I absolutely loved it and I still do. Now i Am 16 and I Am working very hard evey day ,besides my shool work. And when i turn 18(the legal age for drving in Holland) I will buy a beautifull c36 amg if I can find one haha. If I cant get one than i will get a c43. I have already planned what mods i would like to do to the c36. By reading at this forum and watching youtube vids i decided to get a Supersprint muffler and reso. maybe some stiffer suspension and some nice rims;p. I can not wait for the day i will buy my c36 ,I think it is such an amazing car.

I politely disagree. These cars a pure $EX.. If I would have known this one was for sale before I bought my car, it would have been a living heII choosing one or the other. The only reason I went with the W202 C43 is because of the 5.4 swap. Other than that, this W124 boss wins hands down!

I must agree with this I love the w124 interior but I also like the w202 interior, and the e500 engine is such a blast and that sound combined with a eisenmann muffler it sounds a bit like a sls ore c63 amg etc, i really love the old school mercs

Welcome to the forum my EU friend.
I bet it's a long wait until you can drive that C36?
Until then stay tuned on this forum and the days will go by fast till you're 18.

yes it was, everything was pretty much by the Gangster owner that had the car before me and his family sold the car when he got thrown in jail. it had suspention done, exhaust, body kit, custom paint, wood steering, sound system. what I added to it was the wheels, headlights and the S600 grill. I miss it but it gave me a lot of headaches!

hahaha no not that kind of headache. It had only 4" clearance under and it would touch everywhere i mean everywhere, i had to get the front bumper redone 3 times in 2 years that i owned it. and the tires would rub everytime i had more than 3 people in the car, oh and it served as a plow truck everytime it snowed lol and the gangster guy was in the Mexican gangs, but my brothers friend bought it from his family and he kept it for 3 years and than i bought it from my brothers friend!
