AC a little janky but I’m working on fixing that. Also side view mirror is messed up on passenger side. Other than that , car has a rebuilt transmission with a year of warranty on it ...
Our Take:
- The 1998 Mercedes-Benz C 43 AMG is truly a blast from the past—this model marked AMG's first foray into the world of the C-Class with a V8 engine. A real gem for any car enthusiast, the 4.3-liter V8 cranks out an impressive 302 horsepower, which was quite the powerhouse for its time.
- Here’s something fascinating: this car was hand-assembled by AMG engineers, reflecting the marque’s commitment to performance and quality. With only a few thousand units produced worldwide, spotting one today is like finding a needle in a haystack—or maybe an AMG badge in a sea of sedans.
- Despite its age, the C 43 AMG comes with features that were ahead of its time, like electronic stability control and a sport suspension. While the original automatic transmission might've been a point of contention for purists favoring manual, the rebuilt one in this listing with a year of warranty offers some peace of mind.
- Even with a couple of quirks—like the janky AC and a misaligned side mirror—this car holds its own charm. After all, imperfections are all part of the story when it comes to vintage rides, aren’t they? With just 90,000 miles on the clock, it’s got plenty of road left ahead to tell its tales.
