Good read. I think finally these are starting to get the attention they deserve.

I'm sure glad I picked mine up for a complete steal last January.

I always get such a kick out of reading the comments on any post concerning a w202 AMG on the big sites like that.

Nearly every single comment is the same misinformed, poorly-thought bull crap about "yeah but the first time it breaks (which will be nearly every day, 90s MBs are the crappiest cars ever) do you have any idea what it costs to fix!?!? having to buy all AMG parts are even more expensive than the crazy prices you already have to pay for it being a Mercedes!"

dude, my water pump was $100. "yeah but you need to pay a shop thousands of dollars to install it because it's a mercedes/AMG!"

on one hand, I'm fine with people being so stupid and misinformed about them because that keeps the demand for them low and thus the prices. but that also means they won't ever be worth everything because people think they're rolling disasters.

by their math my car should've cost me $500k in maintenance to reach 308k miles

So whats the reason to buy one according to the article?

Sulaco

basically the same reason we all have one

they're cool as hell, rare, cheap, fun, and attractive

Not a C43, but still a good buy IMHO.

how did you find this? what's the price on that C36? I'd love a black C36 to daily while I park my C55!
