Driving my Mercedes W202 C43 AMG, the first factory built AMG, for the first time... does it still provide a thrill after 23 years? Subscribe for more videos!
Great video! I absolutely love my Merc! My C43 was imported from Japan as they don’t have salt on the roads and they drive on the right. Completely original, no rust at all, immaculate underneath, extensive full service history, only 65k miles and near perfect paint work for £14k! Do your homework first but definitely worth buying in good condition and garaging. Great cars to drive and an appreciating classic…hopefully!
I wouldn't dare to buy a s4. Those are colossal money pits. Very expensive ownership. The c43's are very reliable. Have just over 200k hard miles on mine and it runs great. Just when it breaks parts are expensive. Over the past 8 years I probably on average spent about 1-2k a year on repairs
Your editing skills are flying! The intro is worthy of a proper, large channel! I gotta kick myself into gear! 😂 Still watching and enjoying as I comment, great stuff so far pal
Mate you are flying. Your presentation skills are getting better and better with each video. Editing is banging, really great intro but also perfect pacing from there. Only minor tip would be to have some quiet background music during the review, but JayEmm proves it's not essential. I just find my own edits feel shorter in a good way when there's music added. Big love and man alive I want this car now!
Thank you mate, really appreciate it! I agree with the music. I tried it, but couldn't find a balance between blocking the exhaust note out and hearing the music lol.
This was the bulletproof, quality, savage and prestige era of Mercedes, and you have here the W202 C43 which was one of the best. In this era, the 5.6 litre AMG V8 was the top spec AMG engine, and only 20-odd, yes 20-something W202s got that engine.
I bought one about 3 weeks ago and less “common” Wagon. Just sorting out a few little bits then can’t wait to drive it. It seems so different to my W126 500 sel. I’m excited to drive it though. I don’t see any less than £10k. Great video.
Your wrong about the C36 AMG being just a souped up C280.. there's a little bit more to it than that if yo do your research and in fact the C36 was a more specialised car having had the engine hand built by AMG before they were incorporated into Mercedes. The c43 came later with the Mercedes V8 lump shoe horned into a c class chassis. I have owned both and both ere great cars tho the c36 for me felt a little more focused.

Great find this! Really enjoyed it.
Hard to believe but back in 2012ish we got a prime example with 50k miles for under 6k. These cars are finally going up in value
It's a Burner and a head turner.
Love this, really wanting one of these at the moment, had a C280 in this shape they are absolutely fantastic cars!
