This 2002 Mercedes-Benz C32 AMG was originally sold new through Viti Mercedes-Benz of Tiverton, Rhode Island where it remained registered with the original owner until February of 2025 when it was purchased by the seller on The MB Market and relocated to California. Finished in Travertine Beige Metallic (693) over Anthracite Leather (251), power comes from a hand-built supercharged 3.2L M112 V6 paired to a five-speed automatic transmission. Notable options include heated seats, dual-zone climate control, a power sunroof, folding rear seats, and COMAND. In addition to the supercharged M112, the C32 features AMG-tuned suspension, exhaust, and brakes. On the exterior, AMG-specific bumpers and side skirts are fitted with twin 5-spoke AMG wheels. Recent service in May 2025 includes new spark plugs, a brake fluid flush, transmission service, new battery, new valve cover gaskets, new serpentine belt, and an oil service. This two-owner AMG currently shows just under 32k miles on the odometer and is offered with manufacturer’s literature, original sales docs, in-period magazine clippings of reviews, associated sales literature/brochures, window sticker, three keys, service records since new, and a clean California title.
The exterior of this C32 AMG is finished in Travertine Beige Metallic (693) and features AMG-sculpted sport bumpers, side skirts, and an AMG-stamped dual-tip exhaust. The car is equipped with auto-dimming mirrors, a power sunroof, fog lights, and the factory blue-tinted glass. The headlamp lenses show in excellent condition with no oxidation and the paintwork also appears in great condition. Twin polished AMG exhaust tips peek out behind the sculpted AMG bumper and factory "V6 Kompressor" badges are fitted on the front fenders.
The factory AMG twin-spoke 17" staggered wheels are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires measuring 225/45 up front and 245/40 in the rear with 2006 date codes up front and 2016 in the rear. Black and Silver wreath center caps are shown on all four wheels. The C32 featured an AMG-tuned suspension which helps minimize body roll. At 30,517 miles in 2022, Viti Mercedes-Benz did front brake pads and rotors along with a brake fluid flush. A service in May 2025 included a brake fluid flush as well and the brake pads showed 75% life remaining.
The cabin is trimmed in AMG-specific Anthracite Nappa leather across the seats, door cards, head rests, and shift knob. In place of wood trim, the C32 AMG received a textured Sport trim across the center console along with an aluminum and leather shift knob stamped with “C32”. Features on this example include heated front memory seats, power mirrors, power windows, and the original COMAND head unit with CD capability. Original AMG-stitched floor mats are included with the sale and are nicely preserved. The seller notes the retracting cup holder may need replaced to operate smoothly. The window switchgear shows no wear and Sport trim surfaces present in excellent condition.
The digital odometer shows just under 32k original miles. Instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline, and a digital odometer with trip function. Additional gauges include fuel level and the LCD display which can show engine and coolant temperatures along with oil level electronically. The screens show no signs of failing LCD pixels and functions properly.
The AMG-tuned 3.2-liter M112 supercharged V6 was rated at 349 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque when new and is paired with a 722.6 automatic five-speed transmission. The hand-assembled power plant from Affalterbach features a twin-screw supercharger and dual intakes on either side of the engine. This example remains completely stock and recent services completed in May 2025 totals $2,750. Work performed includes new valve cover gaskets, new serpetine belt, new spark plugs, all new filters, an engine oil service, transmission service with a new conductor plug, a brake fluid flush, new wiper blades, new battery, and a California smog inspection. Underbody photos are provided in the gallery showing some surface corrosion on exposed parts. An inspection report by the servicing mechanic found no material rust or damage, only cosmetic surface corrosion with nothing at all found on the frame.
The included Carfax report shows no accidents, extensive dealer service, and registration only in Rhode Island with the original owner until 2025 when the car relocated to California with the current seller. This two-owner C32 AMG currently shows just under 32k miles and is offered with manufacturer’s literature, original sales docs, in-period magazine clippings of reviews, associated sales literature/brochures, window sticker, three keys, service records since new, and a clean California title.
A thorough video of the car has been provided below. The seller notes the windows are rolled down until the 5:53 minute mark, after which they are rolled up.

I may be biased, but the Travertine is such a stunning color on any early 00's AMG. And for those who haven't experienced the M112k, these cars pull hard! I think I need another kompressor in my life. Btw, my 1 of 1 E60 RS RENNtech wagon is Travertine :) Can't go wrong!

Hi...in answer to a question: per my earlier comment: the C32 is currently in the northern Monterey Bay coastal area, having a brand new Behr MB factory radiator installed (not because of any problem, but to assuage any lingering concerns about the old Valeo original radiator)...it should be done this Monday...
Hi, Where is the car located ? Just wondering if an inspection is possible?

Hello...to sprinter14, and all who are interested: my AMG mechanic who did the recent $2,750 service isn't sure, but he suspects it may be the original radiator...I am taking car to him today, and he will confirm/advise...if it's original, he will replace w/new radiator asap and s/b done by Monday, 9-15-25, with receipt for work done (which I will post to this site asap)...We should still have a few days remaining in auction!...thanks for bringing this to my attention...I have had no problems up to now...thanks
"Valeo Radiator" problem: Early W203 models, including some C32 AMGs, came with a defective Valeo radiator that could cause coolant to mix with the transmission fluid. This can lead to transmission failure if not addressed. The issue can be resolved by replacing the radiator with a different brand, such as a Behr unit. In receipt's from previouse owner has he radiator been replaced.

This would match my Travertine ML55 wonderfully.
Hi folks, thanks for your interest in this C32...of the 4 AMG's I have owned (3 currently at once), in the brief time during which I have had this one, it has pleasantly surprised me to no end...it has become the most endearing of the 3, and has a charisma and charm the other 2 don't, (as wonderful as they are)...the "fun factor" permeates every drive. (even with my conservative, careful driving style)...ride, road-feel, handling, solidity and quality are top notch...Alas, I have a 4th car arriving in the next 2 days, and must reluctantly make room!...let me know if any questions; thanks again
Uhhhhg a Travertine C32 is so good.
