Looks ok for the money matey! I looked at a couple of c32 amg's before I bought the Evo. Think I'll get one after this as I'll be nearly 50!!!!!!!

damn 300hp sounds plain these days, especially going by AMG's current standards.

If looked after, these are still amazingly strong cars, although not having the last word in chassis dynamics.
Misty, I think I know where there is a C32AMG wagon on a 51 plate for around 16k if you were interested.

Well, its all mine, and so far its been great.

Highlight was driving home looking at the people in the rear view mirror wondering if it was just a plain Jane C class with AMG badges, or the real deal...

had a blast against one of these recently. initially i pulled up to about 100m on it but when i got into 3 figures it just stayed with me until 150 "wtf is that behind me" i pulled over and then saw the rear badges doesnt look much but it obviously is.

thats part of the appeal. To the untrained eye it just looks like an ordinary C-Class.
