Thanks! Yeah it is so rare to find them with this low miles. The car in itself is rare to find alone.

It sound really great but this one is a little timid as it sounds like it just came from the dealership. :)

Thanks ZAYED. Just need a couple more things on this. The windshield has a crack and one of the fog lights lens is cracked too. I have the fog lights already and will put it sometime this week. I will post pics. I will put my 18s on my other C43 on this car. :)

Where do you guys keep finding these perfect examples? I've been searching for months for something within a days driving, even two days driving from Seattle-Boise area and I cannot find on anywhere. You are a lucky man! Congratulations on such a beautiful car.

Yes it is the one.

No alteration done on the suspension. The car is all stock and drives like new. The tires are bad though and needs to be replaced soon. It looks tall maybe because of the 17s?

Awesome man congrats, seemed like a good buy for the price as well.
Interior black or two tone?

Yeah, really a great buy for the condition of the car. It really just needs a windshield and a lens for the fog lights. And tires of course, which is normal wear and tear.

The interior is like your MacBeth - 2 tone. The owner did not like it so he had a custom seat covers in black. Initially I thought it was the original seat colors until the original owner told me because I asked why the steering wheel has white and so as the shift knob. And then he told me those were just seat covers. I could not tell because the seat covers were tightly put and the material is exactly the same. The upholstery shop was called ABC Upholstery and it was 406.00 bucks that time (June 1999). Yes, I have all the receipts and service records of the car. It was very well taken care of. Even the decal on the front door panels are intact. The decal on the shifter (next to the side mirror adjustment) is still there too. I am very happy with this car.

I'll be joining you March 16th, but I have the blue and black two tone, so I'll mix it up a bit. Just over 100k on mine, but about to pick up another 2500 or so on the way out there.

Are you picking up a C43 for 2500 bucks? Wow that is a steal!!!!
I have not posted pics yet as I was only able to put my front lowering springs. Not the rear though. My spring compressor broke when I was trying to remove the rear spring. It looks like a rake right now :)
