Amg C43 98- 302bhp, V8 Perfect Car on 2040-cars
Bozeman, Montana, United States

In late 1997, as a 1998 model, the world was graced by the AMG C43 and its 302bhp 4.3-liter M113-E43 V8. Available in both saloon and estate configurations, the C43 was the first AMG vehicle built completely in-house and the first C-class to receive a V8. 4,200 were produced for the global market between 98-2000, 1,425 of which were for U.S. consumption. With a 0-60 sprint of 5.8 seconds and a top speed of 155mph.
I love my car, bought it at almost double the price and would keep this classic. It is great and the motor is in excellent conditions. It is an AMG, it gallops wild in summers (not that I ever got a ticket) and is incredibly tough in winter. Even if it is rear wheel drive one of the things I am most proud of is that it was able to survive four winters with me and it never failed to turn on in -45F weather. I would have never survived without the front heated seats, and the heater. I have the blizzak tires that go with it that are still in great shape and I have excellent tiers for the summer also, which I will include (the continental, up front and michelin, in the rear). The reason this car is not in excellent shape is that when I lived in California they broke into the car and stole the DVD player. They destroyed that specific part of the dash. I was able to get the dash but never had time to get the DVD and put it in (you can't put in the dash without the radio). I will include the wood dash with it. Besides that this charm has includes luxury appointments like automatic climate control, wood-grain dash, Bose stereo, power glass sunroof, the electronic Mercedes Mercedes Rest system, new smart key, blue LED lights, windshield wiper activated with sensor, and the split mirror side view mirrors for maximum loss of blind spots. I would love to give this car to someone who is willing to take great care of it and that loves these classics as much as I. My brother (that as a job fixes luxury cars) and I were always fixing little things to the car and tried to take as much care of it as possible. It have recently changed many things during a two year span the key, all brake pads and disks, windshield wiper motor and blade, windshield glass, side door wood grain, a side window (when they broke in), oil filters twice, emergency light sensor, spark plugs, water pump.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show Debuts
Thu, Sep 17 2015Consider the 2015-16 auto show season officially kicked off. The Frankfurt Motor Show offered a great look at the newest crop of production cars and conceptual machines, and brought some old favorites back into the spotlight for a closer look. (The Alfa Romeo Giulia, for example, debuted in June, but this was the first time most of us saw it.) Now that the dust has settled and we're all on flights back to the US, our editors cast their votes for their personal favorites from the Frankfurt show. These are the cars we truly loved seeing the most. But unlike other shows, there was no one runaway winner – all of the Top Five received positive praise from our team. We won't spoil the results, though. Scroll down to see what we liked most from this year's Frankfurt expo. 5th Place – MERCEDES-BENZ IAA CONCEPT View 12 Photos MIKE AUSTIN: The clean lines on this concept have me excited for a more elegant beauty to future Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Next to the Concept IAA, the lovely S-Class Coupe looks like an overstyled barge. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Yeah, the extendable rear is neat and all, but I'm more interested in the front-end styling of this one. It looks like the Tron version of a 300SL, in a good way. I'm hopeful it portends the future of Mercedes design. STEVEN EWING: I was super impressed when Mercedes said that, with the rear end extended, this concept has a drag coefficient of just 0.19. That's crazy aerodynamic. I'm not head-over-heels about the styling, but I think the lessons learned from this concept are really important, and will play a huge role in the future of Mercedes' products. 4th Place – ALFA ROMEO GIULIA View 15 Photos SEYTH MIERSMA: I can hardly express how in love with this car I am. The styling feels creative, modern, and evocative, without going over the top. The proposed performance is spectacular. And the Alfa badge speaks to a legacy of romantic motoring. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Pretty Italian car makes big promises and will probably deliver on about three quarters of them. I think that will still be enough for me. JEREMY KORZENIEWSKI: I'm really intrigued by the Giulia. It looks great, sounds awesome, and I'm expecting it to have a load more character than its German rivals. I hope I'm not disappointed. 3rd Place – JAGUAR F-PACE View 15 Photos GREG MIGLIORE: It's the first SUV for Jaguar, and I think they nailed the design, capability, and electronics. It's the right car at the right time.

Mercedes giving SL a nose job
Tue, Dec 9 2014Mercedes tends to keep its SL roadster around longer than most models. The previous fifth-generation machine was launched in 2001, underwent a facelift in 2009 and stuck around until 2012. That's when the current model was introduced, and before it's replaced, Benz is expected to roll out another facelifted version. And that seems to be exactly what we're looking at here. Expected to arrive sometime in 2016 as a 2017 model, the updated SL will likely feature revised styling front and rear (along with updated interior equipment). This prototype appears to be wearing headlights from the new S-Class Coupe, which don't fit precisely, but then Daimler still has a couple of years to get everything just right.
