I would stay away from both. they are prone to rusting, especially C43. I had a c36 for 4 years. Great car and really looked after it but could not keep the rust at bay. Why not consider a 2004 C55 or a clk, both V8 and Galvanised panels and there are few been for sale for awhile. Haggle away!

cost probably, but agree, C55 has to be the one to get

c43

Yes, you're right - the C43 was indeed the first proper AMG off a production line so to speak. If the provenance is legit on this one then it looks like a nice example: http://www.pistonheads.com/classifi...-t-mercedes-benz-c-class-c43-4dr-auto/1433380 - bit pricey, but I'm sure you could haggle them down in this economic climate. If you're in that area then it might be worth a go-see and test drive at the very least whatever the case though.

Cheers,
Mark

That looks exactly like what I am after I should be able to do a deal with my legact pc too :)
