What a good time! Glad to see good interaction here. 

Enjoy! Friend of mine has a black one, such a fun little rocket!

Let’s get it!!!

Congrats to the buyer and seller! Well done on a great car!

@aksharamin Congrats!  Way to go!

Congrats to the buyer!  That was exciting to watch there.   Great cars!  Enjoy it.

These are faster than the famous W124 E500's, plus - no auto leveling rear suspension to deal with, and one more gear in the transmission.

@aksharamin Yeah buddy! Nice job!

Screw it im back let’s go 

Well well well. A new bidder appears

@Kwoodwo  I was unaware 

I’m out on this one! Goodluck to the buyer 

This is a well known format and prevents sniping

Everytime someone bids, it extends the time

This is unfair the auction should’ve ended minutes ago

Resets to two minutes with each new bid. 

How is the auction time being extended?

You guys are killing me!  I’ve tried to enter a bid a couple of time only to be out bid before even hitting the submit button. Ha

Man, I really want this car!  So nice!

The MB Classic Center says the two trunk badges ("C43" & "AMG") are still available. 

Nice to see some Michelin's on there. Usually a good sign.

Does the seller still possess the factory "C43" and "AMG" badges?

@rcarter978 The intel I have from AMG sales is that 91 C43s were sold in US market in 2000. But whether it's 25 or 91, a 2000 MY C43 is exceptionally rare!  
Great car - GLWA

Question for the expert, how many C43 amg in MY 2000? 

These things are built to last. Looks like a nicely kept vehicle 

Join the fun folks! I already have a couple of C43s, or I'd be bidding on this nice driver! The C43 is a classic muscle car, German style - big engine in small car - and is very stealthy in appearance, but has plenty of go power for road trips! The powertrain on these is quite reliable. Even then, AMG was hand-assembling their engines, they just didn't start with the signature plates until later years. Some attention might be needed at some point on the transmission shift conductor plate. Otherwise, one can expect many miles of dependable service from a W202 C43 series car, with proper maintenance.  

These are going to be crazy money in the near future! Kind of what we're seeing happen with the W210 AMG already

Thank you!

40+ additional images of the headliner and paint meter readings have been added to the gallery. 

Would it be possible to get paint meter readings? 

Does it appear to have been smoked in at all? The plastic on the headliner seem to have a yellowish tint so just wanted to confirm prior to bidding. 

Thanks!

@butteruup82 @rcarter978 This is going back few years now but I believe when I bought the car the previous owner said that the accident was only that he hit a pot hole and had to get the car towed or something like that. I'm not 100% sure. I will say although the car was optioned with xenons, when I got the car it just had regular halogen bulbs and I didn't convert them back. Replacement headlights can indicate a front end accident in some cases. I think if there we any issues from previous accidents they would likely have presented themselves over the subsequent thousands of miles this car has driven and damage would likely be seen in the photos. Tell tale signs are paint chipping on the white painted fasteners holding the fenders in place, and paint scratches around the fasteners for the upper rad support.

Since we have a previous owner here, any color you can share on the accident? Thanks!

Should let me buy it for 2000$

I owned this car in CA for about a year from 111k ish miles, and sold it with about 123k (If you look at picture 138 you can see my name on the under tray still). I road tripped with a buddy from near Chicago where I bought the car back home to the Bay Area. Really enjoyed the car as a daily and had to wait a while to find a white one. C43s are great but I had scratched the itch so decided to move on. Cool to see it pop up here on the site, and looking forward to seeing the auction result.

Quick note, I installed the H&R springs so unless the current owner installed another set for some reason they aren't really new anymore.

54 additional images of the underbody, door bottoms, interior and other areas of the car have been added to the gallery. 

Too bad not any full length pictures of the front seats. Would have liked to see the current condition. Also pictures of under the doors in open position to include some of the carriage underside. Considering the environment of winter and road salts used in New England during winter months and the amount of miles accumulated it is a factor.

Great to see a C43 come up. The first official AMG-Mercedes V8! The only AMG model available for sale in the USA in 1998! One of perhaps 550 sold that year -  how many are left? They're so hard to find nowadays,  especially a nice one, in a less common color. We'll be watching the outcome of this one closely!
