FS: 2003 C32 AMG with FMBSH owned by me since 2005

[Bobby Dazzler]

Following nine happy years of ownership, the time has come for my C32 AMG to find a new home. It's been maintained regardless of cost, and I've been rewarded with an excellent, reliable car with strong (standard) performance.

This car is well known to longstanding members of MBClub, and if you search, you'll find posts going back to 2005 about this very car.

There can't be many cars with such comprehensive history, whether that's documented on a forum, or in what has become a very, very thick folder full of catalogued receipts.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask - viewing recommended.

There are probably a few receipts I've filed and not logged over the years, but this should give you a good idea of the service history.

I've not included low cost purchases such as bulbs, oil or fluids unless it's connected to a scheduled service or repair.

All services, and many repairs have been performed by Mercedes-Benz main dealer, although a few repairs (not services) have been completed by well respected independent Mercedes specialists, including Acid @ MSL (Birmingham), JayManek @ Mercland (Nuneaton) and Olly @ PCS (Horndean)

Please note that some photos show the car fitted with the original AMG IV wheels (supplied from the factory). Other photos show 5-spoke AMG III wheels which were an option when new, and purchased (new) by me in 2011 for winter tyres.

The AMG IV wheels have summer tyres fitted, and included with the car. The AMG III wheels have winter tyres fitted, and are available by separate negotiation.

Flew through the MOT today, so it now expires 19 December 2015

Valeted on Friday, and looking fantastic - see photos in my album

Just realised that the wheel refurb is missing from the table above. The AMG IV wheels were refurbished by Rimfurbish in the Rimstock factory in September 2011, and re-fitted to the car in May 2013. The quality is fantastic and they're in perfect condition

I've recently removed my personal belongings, ready to advertise in the New Year, and came across a brand new set of alloy style pedals, also known as the official "MBClub pedal mod"!!

I bought them years ago (2006?) from the Mercedes main dealer - I stored them in the hidden compartment in the boot and never fitted them!

I'll throw them in if an established MBClub member buys the car, and promises to take care of her!!

Here's how to fit them: http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/interior/5515-howto-slk-evolution-pedal-mod-w202-w211.html

 

[Bobby Dazzler]

Following the registration number transfer, I received the amended V5 and MOT yesterday. MOT expires 19 December 2015.

I'll be advertising it soon, so do get in touch if you're interested or require any further information. I'm very happy to receive offers from MBClub members

 

[Bobby Dazzler]

I've still not got round to advertising the C32, and it's too good to go to someone who'll abuse it, so I'd rather it go to a member of MBClub.

If you're interested, or would like more information then drop me an email ([email protected]) or send me a private message through the forum.

I'm very happy to consider offers, even very cheeky ones
