I finally found (2) e430 that I like .and i cant make up my mind on wich one to buy
One is a 1998 e430 sport with amg wheel 62k miles on it the second one is a 1999 e430 with 61k miles same price 16k the 1999 is black with black interior
the 1998 sport is smoke silver with tan iterior .Help me make my decision guys I was originally looking for an e420 but i guess I will take my chances with one of these cars.

thanks

I would go with the Black on Black but then I am biased.

You could always neogtiate the price down a bit by saying that the other car has AMG wheels on it and the 99 does not.

The Godfather

go with the 99, it has the newer led 3rd brake light, it looks less cheap than the regular one on the 98

Hank

try and find a 2000+, it has bumpers, hood, taillights, and console cluster that look less cheap than on the pre-1999.

Alexbenz

its the same *****

Whitey

How can it be the same ****? I think he's saying our cars looks cheap compared to his facelifted version........lol

Hank

not to forget the blinking mirrors.... just buy them along w/ the car. 2000s are affordable nowadays anyway.

Alexbenz

ahhah, now yeah but back then they were expensive........of course if i was looking these days i'd get a 2000 but you can;t expect everyone to have money............i've seen some 97 go for 11g's now.......

The Godfather

Yeah definitely shell out more for the 2k+ year, cuz there's no way in hell you'll make a 99 look as tight as mine :P

Go for the 2000 model or newer cars. There is a big difference between the a 1999 and a 2000 and once you screw around with the electronics on a 99 to upgrade it to a 2000 you will end up spending more money.

black on black is always my preference...but it's all depend on your budget and the car condition itself
