Hey Guys! Just bought my first Benz!
I was looking to learn to maintain cars, and several friends recommended I start on the w202 platform. I opened up craigslist, and saw a beautiful 1999 C43 for sale locally. Its now my beautiful 1999 C43. The engine is one of the best sounding V8s I've ever heard.

Thanks! The body is in great shape, but it does need some work which Im hoping to do in the next few days, like the motor mounts and suspension struts.

Gorgeous. I was looking for a C43 (even a C36 if I couldn`t find one) but it was impossible here so I got something else.
