Which Mercedes Should I Get?

I want to get an 8 cylinder Mercedes, a 1998 or 1999. I have look at a CL500 but I have been unable to find a C43 or CLK430 yet to look at. I am hoping to spend under 35k for one. I welcome any suggestion.

I think it all depends on what you want. Do you want a 2-door or 4-door car? I prefer 4-doors because they are more utilitarian than 2-door coupes. I would go with a C 43 AMG, personally. Try this: go down to a dealer in your area that is really good for Starmarked used Mercedes and tell them to find you a C 43 and since you say you're willing to spend up to 35K for one, then I bet they'd be more than willing to find you one.

I have a 1998 C230 and I am leaning towards a 2-door coupe, but the AMG C43 is a sweet car. I think its bewteen the CL500 and the AMG C43 but I not sure :p
