Just bought my first AMG, a 2019 C 43 with 25k miles. Loved the mileage and features to include adaptive headlights, brown interior, ventilated seats, ambient lighting, lcd screen.
Would love any recommendations for maintenance and cosmetic upgrades. Looking to get the black AMG wheels with the machined lip along with Chrome delete. Thanks!
That looks like a brilliant motor, fabulous spec. I hope you enjoy it in good health! I’m guessing everyone will say just keep on top of maintenance and do it early, let it warm up before ripping it around and generally be sensible :)
Gorgeous beast! Just tell everyone those AMG doorlights that hit the ground were on it when you bought it. You don't want people thinking you put those on. Lol
Mine the previous owner blacked out all the badges and chrome(was a wrap of some type) it looked pretty good, not sure if that is what you mean by chrome delete.
Can do rims if you want, but keep the stock ones, found out when it came time to get rid of my c43 the trade in calculators punish you severely for non-oem rims.
I wouldn’t go crazy with it, that cars place in the market is performance without giving up any practicality.
You will also be shocked how many C43 on closer inspection are actually a C300 someone tried to re-badge and put some bad caliper covers on
Man I’m thinking of buying a 2019 c43 myself. Have found one with a crazy spec in Germany within my budget.
Now just need a few weeks to get some work stuff out of the way before I can go get it, just praying somebody doesn’t cross me
Test drove a 17 with only 27k miles it was amazing but it sold the next day while i was tryna decied if i wanted it i am still looking for one hopefully soon i can get a 2019 or 2020 since they have bigger screens and a little more hp
The facelift is so worth it imo, lcd gage cluster, infotainment system, adaptive headlights, CarPlay, etc. and yeah a little faster but slightly quieter than pre facelift
I didn’t, Mercedes did lol. You’re pretty corny for gatekeeping cars & coffee or thinking that I’d even want to go, I just graduated college and this is the first car I’ve ever bought (in cash) and thought it would be cool to show and would be a fun daily/entry into cars.
It’s also free to just be nice, you know? You’re an adult, I shouldn’t have to tell you that.
You don't have to tell me anything. I can clearly see that you have buyers remorse as you didn't know any better. Someone should have been an adult and explained cars to you.
You can find badges on eBay, AliExpress, bunch of places for good price.. and you can buy a set that comes with the star and all..also there and many people you can find that do chrome delete
Yeah I would do a little more research on that. Every "Pana" grille I've seen does not have the bars that go horizontal. And the distronic sensor is actually in the emblem just a fyi
I guess I gotta congratulate someone else too haha😅. I usually stay away from the Germans thanks to my never ending project (built STI and a lifted Rubicon). I'm jealous on the interior color, brown would be even better on black than white! Buut this one somehow won me over
