The wheels were set for max takeoff and it seemed like there was virtually no squat at all. Very sweet. Was not able to see what shape the trans was in. It was a local car and I checked the car against the VIN sheet. It looked good to me. I guess I'll have to keep looking. I am looking at paying more for a stock lower miles car.
What kind of miles per gallon are you getting? Hows the stock set-up holding up?

Find the right C43 and you will be extremely pleased.
It will become an appreciating asset.
Less then 1200 C43's were made during it's three year production run (1998-2000)
The 2000 is the rarest with probably only about 25 units coming to the USA.
They have a paddle shift for the transmission.
I believe 579 produced in 1998 and 546 in 1999.
First V8 in the small sedan that was AMG sold through MB.
Mileage depends on driving style.
20+ no problem on highway, high teens in city driving.
C43's wind up fast and feel strong as the revs build.
Great stock AMG suspension, plus AMG body kit and staggered wheels give an aggessive look.
Sport seats are extremely comfortable.
Great choice for an early AMG.
I like it better then the new ones as it feels more like a Merc !!!
