1998 sliver 130k miles condition is fair needs headliner could use some touch up paint, owned it for about 2 years it was my first c43
mods H&R springs clear marker lights led fog lights front grill tinted windows
car runs great new brakes and rotors full tune up plugs and wires new rims and tires front end replaced all control arms bushings new head gaskets
new Mobil 1 sticker new Tristate battery
it took me few months to find one that was for sale ,I looked at a red c36 and 2 c43s ( condition was not to good owners did a poor job maintaining their cars ) I was looking for right car and at the time the’re was not to many on the market , I wasn’t a member on the forum yet .
I purchased my c43 in Connecticut clean title $7500 I think I over payed some but was excited about finding one that was in fair condition. It’s not my everyday driver but I drive it every chance I get . I’m not worried about miles or anything else just enjoy it as much as I can ,it’s a Fun car to drive with that v8 power into this little W202 c43 amg it’s amazing .Damn I love these cars so much I had to have more then one . I would recommend a c43 to any Mercedes Benz enthusiasts
i cant really put a price on my car but market value maybe around $4000 to $5000 but to me it’s priceless can’t see myself selling anytime soon or maybe ever
I have two, both 98. One is obsidian black and the other one is imperial red.
Obsidian black is nearing 200k and is salvage title(no frame damage). It does have a 5.4 swap so considering everything that one I would value at $3500.
The imperial red once finished considering the 82k mileage, clean title, and rarity of color. Im gonna go out on a limb and say Ill value it at least 12k but theres no money you can offer me that'll make me sell it
A little over 100,000 miles on mine, I'm the 2nd owner, bought from a DR in Atlanta. Full records, always serviced and fixed things as they went, like the headliner, that wasn't cheap.
My guess would be somewhere between $12,000-15,000. I've owned the car for about 14 years. It was the first car in my current collection, so while it is probably worth the least, it means a lot to me.
Back in 2012, someone offered $15k for mine (~185k miles at the time, new suspension/brakes/rims/tires). Turned him down.
Had my car for going on 10 years now, put 80k miles on her since then. Fixed/replaced/modded nearly every inch of the car - I know her like the back of my hand.
Now she sits at 202k miles....I'd turn down anything under $25k tbh (that's my "value").
P.S. Benzrider, what are the specs/dimensions of those rims? Wanted to go that style, but I think only aftermarket/replicas will fit.
18x8.0 front 18x9.0 back
offset front 32 Back 35
tires i used 225/40/18 front 255/35/18
rims are aftermarket check eBay you should be able to find them under $1000
Post some pics I’m sure the forum members and myself would like to see your c43

12' W204 C63 AMG coupe "T-Rex", 12' W451 Smart Fortwo Pulse (99' W202 C43 AMG + Ultima Can-Am sold)
Just looked around the Swiss market for C43s on sale. I came across this advert which blew my mind The S202 wagon which is becoming somewhat of a rarity these days (never imported in N. America) seems to be picking up in price. Now is this a sign of an uptrend in value for our babies?
For info, the asking price in Swiss francs is around the same as a $ value as both currencies are around parity, but close to 40 grand I guess the seller has been popping some illegal tripping stuff
That’s a really rare model, and at least here in US, everyone wants the Mercedes and BMW wagons now, from that era and earlier. Immacul@te looking in pictures, so top dollar ask makes some sense.

Yeah, I also wanted to have a pair of W + S202s. The wagon was cheap as chips some years back, but certainly looks like it ain't happening again soon.
Oh BTW I may have a 11' C63 in coupe form (F204) soon in the stable instead

Easy answer....
PRICELESS!
My 1999 C43 in 040 black has 167,xxx miles. I bought it 10 years ago with 107,xxx miles for $6,500. It has been FLAWLESS in terms of reliability over the decade of ownership. It was my first AMG and I will NEVER sell it. My plan is to pass the car to my son when he is old enough.
I know the car itself isn't worth much to most but it is priceless to me.
Anyone else would like to post a few pics of their c43 tell us how you found it ,what do you value it at , what is it worth to you , what have you done to it since you’ve owned it
This is my c43 when I first got it around 2 years ago it was Bday gift found it on CL in Long Island 1999 118k miles blk and blue interior H&R springs 18s value it at $12 but it’s priceless to me
i when by citifield Queens NY they have junk yards across from it went to pickup a spare rim and ran into another c43 black one think it was a 1998 but was in ruff shape needed lots of TLC
