WTB: red or designo color C43 or 2000 C43

Hi guys
looking for a special color C43. Prefer red but I am also open to any special order color on C43. Also interested in year 2000 C43 since i hear they are more reliable in any color.

thank you
Ray

Good luck on finding that 2000 C43, especially in red! Designo interior makes a rare car that much rarer. 2000 is arguably the best year, since the tranny is updated, but that's about it. I've heard and read nothing but good things about this W202 platform.

My '98 has 122K+ miles and runs excellent! Just do proper maintenance and you will be rewarded!

c43 from 2000 can be in any color. white prob at the top of the list.
as far as reds i have only seen 98s. havent seen any 99s/00s

i heard 98s are the most problematic but the red color looks great so i am willing to deal with it. i used to have c36 in red but i always craved for more modern updates (radio, xenons ...) on the later w202s. plus c43 has a little cheaper parts than c36.

also i wanted to ask, are the wiring harnesses still an issue on 98s and up w202s?
