INTERIOR RATTLE C43 AMG COUPE C205

Just a heads up that I did have some rattle from the A pillar in my car. When I had my dashcam hard wired inside they heavily insulated and wrapped the wires (probably factory ones as well) and any rattle that I had at the time of delivery disappeared.

It feels like heaven driving a rattle free car..... as it should be for the absurd price I paid for my car. US $94k That was sticker price and no I didnt pay that much for it.

I always wrap any aftermarket wiring in fabric loom tape. Will save you major future headaches tracking down rattles.

Cannot emphasize enough the importance of wrapping any after market wires. My installer of the dashcam did but I think the rattles were from the factory. In any case, he eliminated that. I probably could have gone to the dealer but didnt want to go through a waiting process. My installer did it the minute I arrived at his shop.

It wasn't the sticker price for a US build. If you add every option to a US coupe it still tops out below $80K.
What's your location?

Australia.

Most of the C43 in Australia have everything just with variations of colour and trim.

The C63s has a sticker price of ~US $130k. We dont get the C63 in Australia.
