What are you specifically looking for? Mileage, price range, location? Are you looking for something mint or looking for a daily driver? There is a silver one in Mass. for $2200 in the Marketplace but has some rust. Also a black one for $900 but I'm guessing that you aren't looking for one that has been t-boned.

Friend has a silver c43 with under 130k that has a 5.4 swap and recently had the trans serviced. Also its lowered.

I believe it might fit your budget. Its got some minor damage onone side that you should be able to fix easily. Let me know Ill put you in contact with him.

Haha no doubt...that one is seriously messed up...could be a good parts car for about 500 bucks...I am on the east coast though...probably has a lot of good amg specific parts like front bumper and fog lights...decklid with the slight lip spoiler...I had a white one that I let go for 1000 dollars but it was just as bad this one is...lol

I would just keep your eyes pealed. Cars.com, autotrader, BAT, craigslist, etc. Google this to search craigslist around the country: c43 -2017 -2018 site:craigslist.org

I think most of us would tell you that it took months of looking and you're probably familiar with that from your last one.

Above your price range and not black, but decent mileage and an east coast car: https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...1679/overview/

Thumbs up

Here’s one that’s in Seattle, WA. Higher mileage but you can get it for $2K USD and have a transport bring it to the east coast for around $1K USD. I’m guessing that it was originally a Canadian vehicle due to the speedo sporting Kms.

I just shipped two cars from California to NC. If you find a cooperative seller and need any recommendations on a shipper, let me know. Usually between $1000 and $1500 per car to go cross country.
