Lovely colour

Nice colour, I personally hate the two tone interiors, all black leather would have been great.

Looks very nice, not a bad price either considering the low mileage.

 

[A-AvantGarde]

Really like that too, stunning value for money especially if the condition and history is as it seems. Will be a good buy for someone, nice & rare especially with that colour combination.

 

[C43AMG]

Couldn't live with that interior, like the exterior.

Looks simply amazing and in outstanding condition. Its got the matching designo two tone interior not to everyones taste surely but then again it is to match the exterior. A good overall spec too. Does anyone know what that VIP type AMG pass is for ?

I used to occasionally see one that colour in the Woking area. Looks a nice car if you like the colour and could live with the interior (sorry, no way!).

 

[Spin_bowler]

Looks very nice. I quite like the interior.

Love the exterior, I have a fondness for that colour as I had an ascort in a very similar colour and I had such a good time hacking around in it doing what you do when you first get your license, I dont know if I could live with the designo seats in that colour combo, the spec I like, it has everything you would ever need, I dont like the chrome around the wheel arches, normal sign of hiding rust, what always puzzles me is that you can get an E55, same spec and mileage, bigger car, same running costs with more power for less?????

I dont like the chrome around the wheel arches, normal sign of hiding rust,

I think all the c43's had the thin plastic strip on the arches.

I think all the c43's had the thin plastic strip on the arches.

Are they supposed to keep the mud off the inside of the arches?

 

[C43AMG]

I think all the c43's had the thin plastic strip on the arches.

They are rubber and very expensive, all C43's had them.

 

[C43AMG]

They are rubber and very expensive ( £48 each ), all C43's had them

 

[NW_Merc]

What were they there for?

 

[Will]

They're arch extenders fitted because of the wider tyres used on these models - 225 front and 245 rear.

In the UK I'm pretty sure you must have the entire tyre covered - mustn't protrude further than the arch lip (from what I remember).

I like it, cheap enough and low mileage..... hmmm must look at savings

 

[rubystone]

Nope - not all C43s had the wheel arch trims. I've looked at quite a few of these cars and owned two. One had the trim, the other doesn't.

That looks like a nice car - Whilst I like Designo, I don't think I could live with that particular combination. Car is a little overpriced given the current market - I'd say it needs to be nearer #7k flat.

Car is a little overpriced given the current market - I'd say it needs to be nearer #7k flat.

What??..even with the nice miles showing on the clock?

.....so what would this car be worth with 100k on the clock?

 

[NW_Merc]

I agree, there arent too many C43 cars for sale these days. One or two in autotrader and pistonheads, this one is relatively low mileage and looks like its been looked after.

Nice car. The C43 AMG is a beautiful car, with tonnes of power and filled with luxury.

Price will need to be lowered to attract people to it. At the end of the day, the C43 is an older V-8 car with high maintence costs and a big fuel bill. People tend to stay away of these cars, and those with different (non standard) colours will be even harder to sell.

I hope an enthusiast buys this one. From the photos, the paintwork looks immaculate and the interior even cleaner!
