C43 AMG w202 estate

[G3BML]

Hi chaps, tried to write a post in the wanted section but haven’t got enough posts yet. I’m on the look out for a C43. I have been looking on and off for the past few years. Just missed out on D568 DFP a few years ago when it was going through the Anglia car auction. After reading through this entire thread I noticed it was for sale at Bonhams in April. I’m going to keep an eye on this thread

Owned by me in the past

Awww I owned this one too! Was googling the reg as MOT history suggested she might have been a goner a couple of years back.

Enjoyed that car... I had it around the Summer of 2013.

Looks tidy

Looks tidy

It does yeah, looks like a good buy. Have you made him a £6k bid yet??

 

[E55BOF]

It needs to be more than tidy for that price , but you never know...

In an age where you can spend £43k on a new Ford Focus, it's still a bit of a bargain relatively speaking. Plus it's getting to the stage of "find another" if you're looking for a real clean C43. Most people hang on to the good ones now.

Not strictly on topic, but I thought this might be of interest to anyone else who has an unhealthy perversion towards turn-of-the-millenium, iron oxide addicted AMG models

Rust issues aside, I have always liked the W210.

Is this one a Japanese import, given the colour and rear VRM plate?

I love the W210 too, I've had an E55 and E430 in the past. Great cars if you can keep the rust at bay.

This one definitely looks like an import, which explains how clean it is!
