20000 mile c43

There is a 20,000 mile c43 on eBay. Looks like a nice car but with that low mileage it should.

Those wheels are technically OEM - for a MY 2000.

Honestly those wheels suit the c43 better than the mono 2s. Mono2s are a better look for a c36

These c43s should be bringing a good return at those low miles and condition I would like to see them appreciate even more
since they rare and getting harder to find
they should be at $20k and up ,I love my c43s and would never want to part with them unless it’s a crazy number

20'000 miles? Wonder if that is the real mileage, or if someone has fiddled with the counter

I contacted the selling dealer. I asked what they were asking for the c43. They said they just lowered the price to $36,500. That is just ridiculous in my mind. It does look to be a nice car but wow. Check it out at motoexotica .com

C43 is clean and low miles should get able that price I want to see these c43s get to a next level , it’s a rare car guys can’t understand why
you wouldn’t want to see our cars go up in value those days of finding a c43s for $5k are over
I want this one to sell high it’s only right Bmw market cars in this era get big bucks ,the c43s has to take the spot light $20k plus
your never going to see these cars again 20k miles that’s a keeper

I agree. For 20 years I've heard nothing but "wow early AMG's are so undervalued" but when they finally start creeping up, I start hearing the opposite.

I hope they get $50k for it, and I have no plans to sell mine (because mine is a rolling pile of garbage with 300k miles)

I am a Porsche fan, mainly. But I do think that the W202 was the last Mercedes Benz quality sedan designed before the Chrysler merger destroyed everything. Why everyone is gaga over the 500E is beyond me. In todays world, the C43 and the C55 AMG are better cars in EVERY WAY. There, I said it and I feel better now.

I feel the same way. Just coz Porsche was involved and it has wide fender flares...omg so amazing....its still a mercedes and it will get eaten alive by a c43 or c55 at the track.

There isn't really much on it that's Porsche if anything

The 500e/e500 is most amazing because it's a w124. But it's not impressive enough to justify it's insane price difference over a normal E320/E420. You can get 90-95% of the experience of a 500e by buying an E320/E420.

And no, nothing on it is Porsche. It was only built by Porsche because the fender flares made it too wide for the MB assembly line. Not a single Porsche part on it. Porsche was in bad financial trouble and desperate for work. MB hired them to build the 500E. End of story. I love the 500E but only because it's the ultimate version of a W124, my favorite sedan ever.

But drive a non-AMG w202. They all are pathetic wimps when you drive a C36 or C43. AMG cars are leap years ahead of their non-AMG counterparts.
