Nice and unaltered model
Looks like it's unmolested - suspension and all, let's see if the next buyer leaves it intact

It does look like an amazing specimen, I wish I was in the market (AKA I wish I could convince the wife) to buy another one..... Anyone know how much he's asking?

99 C43 ///AMG
all this talk about lowering these cars, I wonder if anyone really complained when the car was right out of the factory or does it somehow get higher in height over the years? So will a stock C63 be too high to be road worthy in 10 yrs if left in its current stock form?

I think the C63 is too high out of the gate. Most people leave them alone for about 48 months or 50k miles... Then they seem to get lower...
Then they seem to get lower...

To each their own. Just remember, that same "factory" use to think your tranny was using life time fluid. Follow that influence also and see where it gets you. Its all a matter of personal preference really. Some people cant stand the look of the stock spring and shock setup and other can.

I don't get it either the car sits too high? My car is just as it came from the factory height-wise, as expensive as these cars are to maintain (I love my car) however; I always keep my car intact in the possibility that I may sell. I don't want to purchase a car that has been lowered or tampered with or is not in the condition it left the factory. If the car has been lifted or lowered, it indicates to me that someone has been abusing the car (usually) - I would never buy it.

With 16k you could but a 98 C43 with a 200k miles, a 5.4 to swap in, supercharge it, buy an E55 tranny and rebuid the entire suspension... That's CRAZY money for a C43! That's around w203 c55 money... A guy over there just got one for 17k....

lol supercharging a c43 will cost you $10k out the door. unless you buy a GEN I which i don't care for. GEN II or kleemann= $10k the w210 motor will cost you $7k installed will low miles, oh wait you need to buy the car now.
