My parents have had their 99 C43 for nearly 10 years, currently sitting at 215k. Still runs and drives like a top

Beautiful!! Just make sure to clean out those drainage tubes for the sunroof/windshield and make it breath better, over the decades they can get clogged and overflow in a heavy rain into your passenger side footwell where your TCU and other electronics reside.

Cool car. $52,000 in 1998. Adjusted for inflation (2022) this c43 would cost $94,789 😧

[@fernandorocha901]

Very nice this Mercedes and beautiful. Fantastic car

The interior is late 90s Mercedes garbage, but the setup is so good good with a simple and cheap but powerful engine (not to mention the rest of the tuning down by AMG that it’s more than tolerable, especially given the price of these on the used market now, it’s insane how cheap they are.

6.5 to 0-60 is not very good. Should of been a a second quicker

[@kbcarroll]

True. But for 60-0 they got 95 feet. That's incredible even by today's standards.

[@thewiseguy3529]

V8 in that tiny thing should have been 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds.

[@therealjayseh]

For the size of engine I was thinking it should do 0 to 60 in 4.9 Still a beautiful machine nonetheless

Back in the late 90s/early 2000s when AMG was first taking off and getting their name out, I think they were a little bit... aspirational/ambitious with their claimed HP outputs. A lightweight (at least by modern standards) 3400lb compact sedan with over 300hp should be putting down MUCH better performance numbers than that. Still a great car, nonetheless.

95ft - all time best?
