Wanted - C43 AMG

I am looking for a decent C43 - open to any color combination.
The xenon headlight option would be nice but not a deal breaker.
Willing to travel for the right car - funds are not an issue and I don't need to ask my girlfriend/wife for permission, etc.

If you have one you are willing to part with...PM me the details -
VIN
Ext Color
Int Color
Miles
Price

I am not interested in garbage.
Thank you.

xenon was a standard option for all C43's, if you come across a 43 without it I would pass on the car imo. no telling what else the owner replaced

You are mistaken - Xenon was optional.

We’re the headlamp wipers bundled with the Xenon lamps? Anything else?

I think the other way round. At least in my part of the woods, xenon lights = washer automatically, but I imagine you could get the wiper option with halogen lights.

In 1998 they were stand-alone options, but I am not sure you could get the headlamp wiper/washer with regular/non-xenon lights - or at least I have never seen it.
For 1999 they made a Value Added Package called C1 for $1190 that bundled rain sensor, headlamp washing system and xenon headlamps.
I would have to check my 2000 window sticker but likely the same as 1999 since it was a short run of less than 30 cars.

Kinda agree,

first edition of C43 was on "Oct/1997", and "Bosch" xenon was (basic/standard), with code: "612",,

then "Bosch" replaced their xenon unit with module on "Apr/1998", as code: "612/FC", till "Fab/2000"..

I have a 98 model with headlight wiper/washers and rain sensing windscreen wiper without factory Xenon. They were definitely not paired for 98 models in the US.

When i get the second 98 C43, it was without xenon,

i went to the dealer for vin history, they told me, previous owner removed them & use them with ordinary bulb..!,

be careful with that fellows, most of C43 owners selling the factory xenon before sell the car..!!,

happened with & my friend many times..,,

really bad habit..

Agree with Daniel, "AZN optics" is really great choice..,

OEM Xenon P/N: "N 910139 000000",,

or you can use any "D2R" Xenon bulb with (35W)..
