I had a C36 and liked it. However, the warning on parts prices is to be heeded. Much of the car is a "normal" C-Class, and uses "normal" inexpensive parts, but anything unique to the AMG model is EXPENSIVE.

Since the engine is an M113 V-8, watch for a faulty harmonic balancer. There are some 722.6 issues and the C43 seems to have a high number of them.
