Thanks to everyone here for your interest, kind words and of course; your bids. My apologies for my late response as I had a 1300 mile drive to make (in my truck, not the AMG!) immediately after the bidding ended. I have a good feeling about this auction still finding this gem a new, and happy, owner!
@DF315 The clearcoat is in excellent condition, there is absolutely no oxidization. There is a small blemish on the trunk lid as can be seen in the photos courtesy of a bird many years ago. Hard to see unless you view it at the correct light angle. It has always been kept in a garage. And since transporting it to AZ 3 years ago, it has been in storage and rarely driven (<200 miles) other than to keep it healthy and fueled. I have always hand washed it or in a pinch, used touchless car washes. It has been waxed regularly with Maguires Carnuba cleaner/paste wax.
Hello again everyone and thank you for your interest in this rare classic AMG!!! This car is ready to go; brand new tires, fresh MB Mobil 1 oil and filter, K&N air filter refreshed, tranny serviced, brake fluid flushed, new steering damper, engine and tranny mounts, and a new Bosch wiper blade. Everything works. All you need to do is drive it away! It is presently in a Toy Storage unit with 24hr access and full-time on-site management, in-unit power, water and air access just outside the door. Rent is paid through the end of December if you need time for shipping. Arrangements could be made beyond that if needed and I'll be here to respond to any last minute questions. Best of luck on your bids for this very rare classis Benz!!!
@Jasper_Stokes: The car is factory equipped with an INCREDIBLE Bose stereo system paired to a Becker head unit and trunk mounted 6-disc changer. Yes, the tape player and all features funtion as new. I am truly going to miss it!
@Marichardson: Hello, and thanks for joining the party! This vehicle did not come with the xenon option. However, both headlight units are genuine MB units and both are new. A small rock from the highway broke the lens on the passenger side at just over 100k miles. My insurance covered the replacement of the entire assembly with a new one from the MB dealer. It drove me crazy to see the new one not match the driver's side as it was showing 100k of tiny chips on the lenses. So I replaced it with a new genuine OEM assembly to match. Both sides included new sidelamp assemblies. I have the receipts and paperwork for both. Thanks for your interest!
@ClayMan: The report of an accident and/or damage appears to have been made during the vehicle's original ownership, unfortunately, I am unaware of any repairs made by them. The second owner, who leased the C43 with a Starmark warranty, confirmed to me that no accidents had occurred while in his possession. Both the 2005 Carfax and pre-purchase inspection reports at that time, showed no signs of accidents or damage. To the best of my knowledge, this car remains accident-free, as I have found no evidence that would suggest otherwise.
@ClayMan: Click on the 'CarFax' logo at the top of this listing. Should take you directly to it... Message me if that doesn't work and we'll get it sorted out. Thanks!
@ubergruber: Indeed they are, and a genuine W202 C55??? Wow, that's very special!!! Someone is going to really love taking this one home for sure...
@dbwisle: Sad story indeed... I never imagined parting with this beauty. But truth is, I have often considered that fate when driving this one and can honestly say that factor greatly atribbutes to its relatively low mileage. Thanks for your support!
Hello everyone and welcome to my auction for this exceptionally rare 2000 C43! This car has been my pride and joy since 2005 and after 20 memorable years together, the time has come to hand it over to its next caring owner. Storing it year after year for the sake of a few very brief fair-weather thrill rides each year no longer makes sense as I continue to live and work overseas. Never neglected and always garaged, It's been kept it in pristine condition inside and out (no sticky residue products ever used on plastics!), the leather well-conditioned and any maintenance needed promptly handled with OEM parts when possible. You will find all features and functions work as new and the A/C blows ice-cold. Also included is an OEM front license plate mounting bracket. Please take the time to watch the videos and don’t hesitate to ask questions. Best of luck with the bidding and congratulations to the new owner of this gem in advance!
