As someone with 2 in the family, I’d say the reserve is understandableShould have sold at this number…@Lillie1207 Same Lillie - I have a feeling with the current economic conditions, we will see this beauty again and it'll hammer for this number or a bit less.Very solid auction. Have to agree with Jonas - $37K should have had this. Was hopeful and prepared to go into the mid-30's myself. Great bidding, Lanton!I get that this is probably one of the best examples in North America.... but $37k should have taken this one home, IMOWow$37,000 bid placed by @Lanton

These are really special cars in the lineage of AMG cars. This was the first C class, or equivalent succeeding model, to come fitted with a V8 and that set the trend moving forward. I still think the N/A M113 is the best engine to have, they can be driven the way they were meant to be driven but will seemingly last forever if properly maintained.$19,000 bid placed by @hanker911
@Hank42 Doesn't seem terribly off topic since we're talking about low mileage C43s here. Sounds like this might actually be the lowest mileage one left that's unmodified. This car belongs in a museum or might even be a perfect stable mate for Jay Leno's 210 E55!@thembmarket, is this what you're site does and allow URL info and posts going off topic from the current car for sale, as between amgguy and mercedesdad?$18,000 bid placed by @ClarksonB
Paint meter readings have been added to the end of the gallery.@MercedesDad That's very interesting! I do remember seeing that car circulating a bit online a while back. Definitely a bit too radical of a paint scheme for me personally but very cool nonetheless.@AMGguy, No. I owned the only factory Mercedes C43 AMG pace car in existence; with only 2,400 original miles. I sold it to a collector a couple of years ago. He still owns it, which only a couple hundred more miles since then. https://www.autobahn-vault.com/inventory/1997-mercedes-benz-c43-amg-pace-car/325/ That said, this 12K-Mile example is as clean as it gets.At 12k original miles there's no way the rear brake pads would be at 3mm and need to be changed, the front maybe if it was driven hard. I'm at 27k miles on my C43 and the pads front or rear have ever been changed.Is this the lowest mileage C43 left?! And one owner since new... calling all collectors, we have a winner!$15,000 bid placed by @Craigkay
Crazy nice C43. Always loved these hotrod sedans and this one is special!$10,043 bid placed by @MercedesDad
Great looking example!Outstanding! As if these weren't rare to begin with, here is one with 12K miles! Nice work, MB Market, bringing this one to auction. Now to rummage thru all my seat cushions to gather enough $$ for a proper bid. Will be watching this one closely!$5,900 bid placed by @vaderade
