1998 C43 AMG
FS: 1998 C43 AMG
Make: Mercedes-Benz
Model: C43 AMG
Year: 1998
Paint: Obsidian Black Metallic
Interior: Two-Tone
I'm a bit bummed to be posting this but I have too many cars now so I need to let this one go. It's a fantastic car and I'm by no means in any hurry to sell it. I want it to go to a good home.
CLEAN TITLE. California car (originally purchased at Mercedes of Walnut Creek).
I'm the 3rd owner. Mileage is currently at 197,xxx. Fresh Mobil 1 synthetic oil is changed every 5,000 miles. Transmission was serviced 3,000 miles ago by N1 Motoring in Hayward, CA. Brand new spark plugs, coil packs, serpentine belt, tensioner, water pump, hoses, and valve cover gaskets were also replaced by them 1,200 miles ago. Original Mercedes parts were ALWAYS used. I am meticulous about maintenance.
Car is gently modified. See below for details:
Performance Related:
Y-Pipe and Resonator Delete
Secondary Cat Delete
K&N Dual Intake Filters
Suspension:
Bilstein Sport Shocks
H&R Sport Springs
Exterior:
Brand new OEM Mercedes Hood Star Emblem
Depo Clear Corners
Avantgarde Grill (with Carbon Fiber Accents)
3000K HID Fog Light Bulbs with Ballasts
6000K HID Lowbeam Bulbs
3M DINOC Matte Carbon Fiber Wrapped Door Pillars
Interior:
AMG Black Burl Maple V8 Shift Knob
All Black Steering Wheel (I had the original two-tone reconditioned & dyed because the white part always gets messed up with time)
JVC KD-AVX77 DVD Touch-Screen In-Dash System
Alpine Amp
Two 10" Alpine Subs with enclosure
Wheels & Tires:
Front: AMG Monoblock II's 18x8 +31
Rear: AMG Monoblock II's 18x9 +35
Front: Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 225/40/18
Rear: Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 255/35/18
Tires have about 7,000 miles on them with really good/even wear.
The only bad things that I'm aware of:
Wheels have curb rash on them, they were like that when I bought them and I've probably added some more in the last year or so.
Interior could use some cleaning as far as the leather (some parts are stained and a bit dirty). No cracks though. For the right price I can have the entire interior reconditioned to be brand new.
Other than that, the car runs absolutely beautifully. I'm asking $9,500 OBO. Reasonable offers will be considered, but not before you see the car and meet me first. I'd like this car to go to a home where it'll be appreciated for its historic value.
Serious buyers should email me to schedule a time to see & drive it: tom[at]gmail.com
Thanks for looking!

Beautiful car, had one in my sights before I transfered out of Canada. GLWS.
