I was surfing ebay when I came upon one of these.

A C43 AMG. I realize its slushie only, but for the price some of these are going for, seems like a GREAT second car.

For hauling friends around and long trips. For 18k and 71K miles, not bad.

The exterior style is understated and the interior is flat out nice.

Comments?

For a while, before I realized just how much slushies suck, it was my favorite car. Tons of torque, beatiful nappa leather, classic MB good looks (especially with the AMG package) and I believe at the time of its release, it was the fastest production automatic sedan in the world.

I give it the thumbs up if you can overcome the automatic and realize it has good but not world-class handling. Reliability would scare me as well as maintenance as a used car.
