Up for sale is my '98 Mercedes C43 AMG, white with the Black with blue inserts interior.  I've owned it just about 3 years now.  Great car but I travel extensively now and recently bought a truck to run to the airport and let sit outside instead.  


Car had 101K when I purchased it 3 years ago.  Only repair item has been a new waterpump, belt and idler/tensioner pulleys around 115K.  

Tires at 113K.  New front pads recently.  New front rotors when I purchased the car because MD Inspection said they were "too thin".  Paint is excellent. NO RUST! Not a bit.  Interior is 9/10 only because the headliner is sagging on the sunroof cover.  Otherwise, all leather is 100% and carpets are excellent and doorpanels are perfect.  Comes with a set of original AMG floormats but the driver's one is pretty shot so I haven't used them.

Car had the optional Cellphone which I have removed and comes with the car.  I also replaced the factory radio with a Clarion Unit with Bluetooth.  Original radio comes with the car and OEM CD Changer is still in the trunk.  Clarion head unit is still running through the factory BOSE audio system.  

Engine oil changed regularly and only Mobil 1 Zero weight oil is used and Mahle filters.  

Body is perfect (for a '98 - not counting a couple little paint chips here and there) with the exception of the front bumper.  I hit a small animal on the way to the airport about a 1 1/2 years ago and the "bow" insert popped out and is gone.  cracked some of the supports but not visible unless you are on the ground.  I recently put in a row of LED lights on each side in the space that my kids gave me for Christmas.  

Only two issues currently - 
1) the sunroof opens but does not close.  I think it's the motor or connection to the motor.  I don't use anyway. 
2) the knob is off the passenger door.  Its in the glove box and doesn't affect operation of the locks.  I happened when my wife was using the car with the kids so maybe they pulled up on the lock and it stripped off. I think the door needs to come off to relocate it and I haven't taken the time since it doesn't affect the locks.  

Awhile ago I recorded a run from Zero-120 to show that it accelerates properly and, based on the rough numbers, I'd say it's pulling the same numbers as stock.  Engine runs great.

Top 10 small cars with the longest total driving range

Thu, Mar 19 2015

Editor's Note: Since this article was originally posted in the spring of 2015, much has changed in the automotive landscape, especially among those shopping for small car economy. With thanks to Volkswagen for their blatant cheating – and subsequent cover-up – on diesel emissions, the largest player in the diesel passenger car segment isn't playing – they're paying; billions are going for both car buybacks and federally-imposed penalties. And for a few VW execs there exists the very real possibility of jail. With the absence of a big player and the abrupt entrance – via Chevy's new Bolt – of an affordable EV with 200+ miles of range, we've limited the diesel listings to Jaguar's new XE. And for those wanting an updated look at efficiency and range, Autoblog has it – or the EPA has it. Long before electric vehicles were part of the mainstream conversation, car lovers and skinflints alike would boast about the total range of their vehicles. There's something about getting farther down the road on one tank of gas that inflames the competitive spirit, almost as much as horsepower output or top speed. Of course, the vehicles with the very best range on today's market are almost all big trucks and SUVs; virtually all have the ability to carry massive reserves of fuel. Top up a standard Chevy Suburban and you can expect to travel almost 700 miles (you'll need to stop before the Suburban stops...), while a diesel-fed Jeep Grand Cherokee manages almost as many. But what about vehicles that are smaller? The EPA has, essentially, three classifications for 'small' vehicles: Minicompact, Subcompact and Compact. All three are measured based on interior volume, meaning that some cars with rather large exterior dimensions and engines slot in next to traditional small cars. But even though impressive GT coupes from Porsche, Bentley and Mercedes-Benz may have much larger gas tanks to feed their powerful engines, that capacity is offset by higher rates of consumption... in most cases. We used the EPA's Fuel Economy Guide for model year 2017 cars as a start, calculating the official highway miles per gallon rating with each vehicle's tank capacity. The resulting numbers aren't necessarily real world, but they do offer a spectrum for total theoretical range. The eventual top ten surprised me on a few occasions, and comprised quite a varied list of vehicles. 10.

Mercedes goes boating again with G63 AMG-inspired Cigarette

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

Cigarette Racing has another Mercedes-Benz AMG-themed boat headed out to sea. After The SLS AMG-inspired 46-foot Rough Rider in 2010 and the C63 AMG Black Series-inspired 50-foot Marauder in 2012, this year's Miami Boat Show will introduce the 42-foot Huntress, theme provided by the G63 AMG.
The latest Cigarette homage is less overly racy than the ones before, befitting a watercraft modeled off a performance SUV, but don't let the looks fool: there are five Mercury Racing Verado 350SCi outboard engines, each one of them packing a supercharged inline six-cylinder with, natch, 350 horsepower. Those 1,750 horses will be good for 78 miles per hour when you've got some saltwater underneath you.
If you're in South Florida this week, Booth B-23 at the Miami Convention Center could be your best place to see it. Otherwise, like the 536-hp G63 AMG, it could be hard to catch. There's a press release with more information below.
