July 22nd, 2022 at 5:00pm ESTLillie1207 (1) 1Very solid auction. Have to agree with Jonas - $37K should have had this. Was hopeful and prepared to go into the mid-30's myself. Great bidding, Lanton!July 22nd, 2022 at 4:52pm ESTJonas (7) 0I get that this is probably one of the best examples in North America.... but $37k should have taken this one home, IMOJuly 22nd, 2022 at 4:52pm ESTHighheat (16) 1WowJuly 22nd, 2022 at 4:48pm EST$37,000 bid placed by @LantonJuly 22nd, 2022 at 4:47pm EST$36,500 bid placed by @mercedesbenzmanJuly 22nd, 2022 at 4:45pm EST$36,000 bid placed by @LantonJuly 22nd, 2022 at 4:45pm EST$35,500 bid placed by @Mister_MrJuly 22nd, 2022 at 4:43pm EST$35,000 bid placed by @LantonJuly 22nd, 2022 at 4:42pm EST$34,500 bid placed by @Mister_MrJuly 22nd, 2022 at 4:41pm EST$34,000 bid placed by @LantonJuly 22nd, 2022 at 4:41pm EST$33,500 bid placed by @Mister_MrJuly 22nd, 2022 at 4:39pm EST$33,000 bid placed by @LantonJuly 22nd, 2022 at 4:38pm EST$32,000 bid placed by @ClarksonBJuly 22nd, 2022 at 4:38pm EST$31,500 bid placed by @LantonJuly 22nd, 2022 at 4:38pm EST$31,000 bid placed by @mercedesbenzmanJuly 22nd, 2022 at 4:38pm EST$30,500 bid placed by @Mister_MrJuly 22nd, 2022 at 4:38pm EST$30,000 bid placed by @LantonJuly 22nd, 2022 at 4:37pm EST$29,500 bid placed by @mercedesbenzmanJuly 22nd, 2022 at 4:37pm EST$29,000 bid placed by @LantonJuly 22nd, 2022 at 4:36pm EST$27,000 bid placed by @Mister_MrJuly 22nd, 2022 at 4:36pm EST$26,500 bid placed by @mercedesbenzmanJuly 22nd, 2022 at 4:33pm EST$26,000 bid placed by @ClarksonBJuly 22nd, 2022 at 3:49pm EST$25,500 bid placed by @Lillie1207July 22nd, 2022 at 1:51pm EST$25,000 bid placed by @ClarksonBJuly 22nd, 2022 at 11:48am EST$24,000 bid placed by @mercedesbenzmanJuly 22nd, 2022 at 10:36am EST$23,250 bid placed by @ErnestJuly 22nd, 2022 at 4:10am EST$23,000 bid placed by @ClarksonBJuly 21st, 2022 at 12:32pm EST$20,500 bid placed by @mercedesbenzmanJuly 21st, 2022 at 10:10am EST$20,250 bid placed by @SharkJuly 21st, 2022 at 1:02am EST$20,000 bid placed by @ClarksonBJuly 20th, 2022 at 9:18am ESTClassicAMGdriver (0) 2These are really special cars in the lineage of AMG cars. This was the first C class, or equivalent succeeding model, to come fitted with a V8 and that set the trend moving forward. I still think the N/A M113 is the best engine to have, they can be driven the way they were meant to be driven but will seemingly last forever if properly maintained.

Sounds like this might actually be the lowest mileage one left that's unmodified. This car belongs in a museum or might even be a perfect stable mate for Jay Leno's 210 E55! July 15th, 2022 at 10:58am ESTHank42 (1) 0@thembmarket, is this what you're site does and allow URL info and posts going off topic from the current car for sale, as between amgguy and mercedesdad?July 14th, 2022 at 9:52pm EST$18,000 bid placed by @ClarksonBJuly 14th, 2022 at 9:21pm ESTthembmarket (691) 1Paint meter readings have been added to the end of the gallery. July 14th, 2022 at 9:05pm ESTAMGguy (11) 1@MercedesDad That's very interesting! I do remember seeing that car circulating a bit online a while back. Definitely a bit too radical of a paint scheme for me personally but very cool nonetheless. July 14th, 2022 at 2:02pm ESTMercedesDad (134) 1@AMGguy, No. I owned the only factory Mercedes C43 AMG pace car in existence; with only 2,400 original miles. I sold it to a collector a couple of years ago. He still owns it, which only a couple hundred more miles since then. https://www.autobahn-vault.com/inventory/1997-mercedes-benz-c43-amg-pace-car/325/ That said, this 12K-Mile example is as clean as it gets.July 14th, 2022 at 11:23am ESTHank42 (1) 1At 12k original miles there's no way the rear brake pads would be at 3mm and need to be changed, the front maybe if it was driven hard. I'm at 27k miles on my C43 and the pads front or rear have ever been changed.July 12th, 2022 at 10:51pm ESTAMGguy (11) 1Is this the lowest mileage C43 left?! And one owner since new... calling all collectors, we have a winner! July 12th, 2022 at 10:02am EST$15,000 bid placed by @CraigkayJuly 11th, 2022 at 9:49pm EST126lwb (14) 1Crazy nice C43. Always loved these hotrod sedans and this one is special!

As if these weren't rare to begin with, here is one with 12K miles! Nice work, MB Market, bringing this one to auction. Now to rummage thru all my seat cushions to gather enough $$ for a proper bid. Will be watching this one closely!July 10th, 2022 at 2:35pm EST$5,900 bid placed by @vaderadeJuly 10th, 2022 at 2:30pm EST$250 bid placed by @Whester
