Looks amazing! Good luck with the sale. Interesting how they use the two tone steering wheel with the otherwise black interior. I've seen that on a few C43s.

Your C43 looks to be pristine. I wish I have another garage for another classic AMG.
Good luck with your sale.

Man, too bad it doesn't have the must-have headlight wipers! Otherwise I'd ****** it up in a heartbeat! Beautiful car though!!

speed43

Why must have? I been wanting to take mine off.
When it rains the wiper on the left always stays stuck.

+1...,

I don’t like them either....,

Fade rubber>>always stuck>> not that good shape....

ZAYED,,

2 202's - 0 working headlight wipers here. Not worth it unless you are just trying to find the most FLAWLESS 202 you can get.

siideways

OMG, so fix the headlight wipers!! Why in the world would you intentionally leave them inoperable?!? As I've said numerous times before, the headlight wipers are what make the W202s what they are. Without them, the car just looks so barren and cheap, like something is missing.

Hell, I remember way back in the day when a buddy of mine had a super clean VW GTI, we used to go and hack the headlight wipers off of MBs to put them on (as dummy) units on his car just because they gave it such an upscale, exclusive, and classy European look.~

On the Euro side of the Atlantic, headlight wipers are mandatory if you have the xenon option....

Nice c43

I am also interested. Kindly PM me.

I would if I had the spare $ and motivation. The wiring to the wiper motors is consistantly some of the worst wiring on these cars. When I got my 43 the wires were just blatantly cut Tried connecting them up a few months ago and nothing. For me I agree, I think it is a nifty feature and I'd love to show them off, but I'm not going to spend hours troubleshooting/redoing the wiring and I'm definitely not going to spend the money on new motors. I don't take them off, and I make sure they are bolted on tight so they don't just flap around, but for now they're just there for the looks

Car is sold. Thanks for the interest!

I'd love to know if you got close to your asking price!

trinitony

Does anyone know how much it sold for?

DRBC43AMG

Obviously nobody on this forum... a pity and we would have heard

nd4spd13

If he's not willing to post it, chances are it's not in his favour

Gentlemen,
Just taking the mystery out of who bought the car. It was me.
I won't get into the price but both partys were happy. The car is now safely at its new home in Ontario Canada.
By the way my first post. Great forum!!!!!!!

Welcome and congrats on the purchase. A 2000 MY with tiptronic is rare and even if it doesn't have light washers, I don't think its absolutely necessary to enjoy the driving!

Keep us posted and give us some comments on how you like the vehicle...

KJI3jflarryfe93

welcome to this great forum.
you've bought a great car.

how is the tiptronic transmission, is it any good?
have you tried the old style transmission before?
pro vs cons between them both?

I wonder if you can do me a favor?
Can you take some pictures of the screw brackets behind the Avantgarde grille?
I want to compare if they are the same on 99 and 00 cars?
I'm not sure if a 00 w202 avantgarde grille fits a 99 w202 hood?

Thanks for your help

roblandad4268

I only have a 1998 c280 to compare the transmission with, but the difference is night & day. The c280 can get confused & shift very abruptly. The tiptronic is as smooth as glass. It is proably the best driving car I have ever had. After I got it home i've only driven it about 200 miles so not alot of time behind the wheel.
I'll see this weekend if I can get any pics of the grille.

Very glad to hear this rare C43 made it to a happy home.

DRBC43AMG

I would say that 99% chance they are the same. I doubt MB would change the fixings on an end of life model for cosmetic reasons

KJI3jflarryfe93

i hope the brackets and bolt holes are the same on 2000 hood as it is on 1999.
asked stealership about price, cost approx $1068 dollars conversion from swedish currency (6900Skr) dubble
parts still expensive for a 13 years old car

DRBC43AMG

Get an insert on eBay and be done with it. Looks perfectly the same and a darn bit cheaper too...
