Super nice car, but 40k..hah. Imo an all original '00 C43 is more valuable. No headlamp wipers on the '00s?

haha, I said the same thing...but someone will ****** this baby up.
Personally, I'd prefer a white one, with the two-two interior.

Very nice example of the rare and final year. Having said that, it's heavily modified and non numbers matching. A factory MY2000 C43 vehicle would appreciate that much in value. A genuine W202 C55 with a mere 50K Kms, was recently auctioned in Japan and sold for 32K USD. Regardless, all the best with the sale! ��

Yup, awesome car, but it's been chopped up. Should include the original engine and brakes in the sale.

My original engine is on an engine stand in my garage for this reason.

As much as these are great cars, they are not as well known as say a E30 M3. I dont see this car fetching that kind of money, More realistically 20k to 25k. Like others stated, if it was a numbers matching factory fresh car with those wheels, it may get more.

Any rarity $$ of being a 2000 goes out the window when the car is modded that much. Seller is on crack!! He'd be very lucky to get 13-15k

where did you get the AMG floor mats?
did you buy them from eürope, they are eüro style mats.
I have the exact same mats in blister still unopened since many years.

I also have the US Designo style grey piping/black mats with C43 logo in blister still unopened since many years.

Are these going to increase in value in the near futura like the C43?

Holy grail would be a burgundy 2000 car. There was only one imported in that color out of the 25

The 2000 is cool only because me2.8 and tiptronic trans. The roof antenna is dumb and I really wouldn't like that. I also don't care for the wheels they had. To me they're not worth any more, I'd much prefer a 98/99 actually. Hate that antenna.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the 2000 c43 is me2.0 with tiptronic, just like my 2000 ML55 with tiptronic. The cars that have me2.8 have the digital speedo. But like I said, I could be wrong!

Part number for the ML55 ecu shows that it is in fact me2.0, but I'll double check mine when the rain stops in a few days

The $40k C43? No. I've had to work for my money and I respect value, but a lot of people lack that respect and seller understands this. Buyers will throw caution to the wind and purchase without education or without care.
