I need to sell my C43 as i require a van for my business, so plan to sell this and buy a sprinter, so one merc to another.
This car comes dent free, with a few stone chips to the front bumper. The car comes with a full service history and has recently had a service with the gearbox oil being replaced too. The mechanic stated this is the cleanest rust free model of C43 he has seen, both the body work and underneath. He is a MB trained technician and is in his late 30's so has service a few of these.
The car has nearly every extra and a clear HPI report. The extra's are as follows: -

The car drives well with no knocks etc. The gearbox works as it should.
The interior is in exceptional condition with no marks on the dashboard. The leather is not cracked or torn.
Bad points
Cracked nearside fog lamp, but still works. Small crack to bumper near the foglamp. This was like this when i bought the car. The lower trim insert at the front is missing, but not really noticeable. There is no warning triangle. The wiper motr does not move the arm in and out. The wiper does work though. That's the bad points over.
I am looking for £5,995. I think this is a realistic price, considering there are many C43's advertised at over £4k without history and without the spec of this car. looking through the paperwork all the parts that have been replaced have been bought from a MB dealership. All the parts i had replaced just after i purchased the car were also bought from MB.
