Used 1999 C43 AMG Mercedes for sale in Portland, ME

For Sale: 1999 Mercedes W202 4.3L V8 producing 302hp in a lightweight chassis. Plenty of information online regarding this car if you are looking for more general background information. 1200 of these vehicles were produced in the US.

I purchased this car for my wife as a follow up from an earlier W124 we had when we got married. I bought this car over the phone from a dealer in OH after a friend who lived there looked it over for me. Professionally shipped to Portland. We use it as a summer car only and it has not seen Maine snow or salt. You can tell from the current odometer we aren't driving it very much. As it turns out with a kid and a dog it is just too impractical for us. No, the dog does not get in the car.

The exterior of the car is very clean and the paint is in good original condition. The exception was a dent in the hood (likely a golf ball) which which was professionally fixed by an auto body shop and re-sprayed.

Is this a collectable car? Yes. Is this a completely pristine example, no. But it is in very good shape, with a clean interior and exterior.

I have way more "invested" into this car than the price listed price but I'm also willing to accept reasonable offers for the right buyer. I am an honest seller looking to pass this along to a car enthusiast who will appreciate it. I am also 100% in a position to hold on to it for the future.

Will be uploading more pictures soon.

What does this car need?

There was a leak in the passenger side windshield due to a clogged drain plug. It shorted the passenger side airbag sensor which needs to be replaced. Also related to the water leak the heater blower needs to be replaced. I will be fixing this in the near term unless the car sells prior.
