http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/n...586124434.html

1999 mercedes benz AMG, 120K miles, this is not your common c class...
new tires, 18" wheels, Blk interior.
car runs great..few things you need to fix...knocking sound when you take off fast.. maybe motor mounts and it will need new brakes, small oil leak... you must see to appriciate it..
be a serious buyer please.. i really dont want to sell it but i just dont have time to mess with it.. the price is right and i wont take any low stupid offers... the car is clean..
real buyers real buyers real buyers.. text me for more picture
thanks...i also have a set of chrome original amg wheels 17" with no tires..

$4800 is CHEAP

Knocking noise at take off = center support bearing.

Oil leak probably valve covers = easy fix
New brakes = use OEM parts which are expensive but you won't regret it
Rust??
Oils, filters, plugs and transmission ATF and filter and a general look over everything and you are ready to go
Plan on spending some $$ to get everything right

I dont like to tell people they are incorrect but being a mb dealer tech, with a c43 and deal with this everyday.. its safe to say if there's a knocking noise under hard accel its most likely the motor mounts are busted. the center support bearing is towards the rear of the car under the rear seat. if that were going out youd might get vibrations or a high pitched pinging noise or even a clunking. the knocking its the motor lifting up due to the busted mounts.
