Talking #4 W202 AMG











Hey guys! I just pulled the trigger and purchased #4 W202 AMG. It's an almost mint, two owner 1999 C43 with a low 131K Kms. I paid $6K CAD. I now have two 1999 C43's and two 1996 C36's. I'm now parting with one of the C36's as it's one too many cars. I have to say that the wife is not pleased but, I'm certain she'll get over it!

do you get any radio signals from outer space?
LMAO! The previous owner had it put on and I'm certain it was to increase the signal strength so ET could call home!

I assume puck sits with a magnet and is wireless?

E.T. come home
Yes, I'm definitely removing it! The only changes will be 18" Monos and a Vogtland/Koni setup. Also removing the full black C43 velour floor mats and storing them away.

Just wondering if the black thing just behind the screen could be a GPS receiver. When I changed my radio unit (broken down) I replaced it with a later Becker unit which came with a similar flattish unit which has to be placed somewhere visible to the sky to receive satellite transmissions: So it probably can be used to call E.T.

Hi. The C36 was not offered with xenon headlamps as they weren't available at that time. Regardless, I have no intentions of parting out the C36 as it runs great and I have 3 potential buyers.

Cheers
