Overview of 1998 Mercedes-Benz C 43 AMG For Sale by Owner

Now here’s a truly one of a kind car that you can get your hands on right now. This 1998 Mercedes-Benz C43 DTM is based on the W202 generation of C-Class which ran between 1993 and 2000, but it’s heavily been customized for SEMA 2025 to debut the current seller’s V2 W202 DTM bodykit. The current owner says that the entire bodykit is carbon fiber and manufactured by his company. Notably, he says that the car uses a special coilover kit that’s been developed by YSR, unlike other builds that use air suspension. Impressively, it’s claimed that as a result of this, the typical air suspension issues are absent, and the ride quality is like any other modern sports car, stiff but not uncomfortable. All that, plus a rebuilt 4.3-liter V8 and many upgrades make this a fine car for someone who wants the only one of something available in the automotive scene.

Exterior and Interior

This 1998 Mercedes-Benz C43 DTM looks stunning with its aforementioned body kit, its two-tone white and black paintwork, and large silver alloy wheels. The car is instantly identifiable as a W202 C-Class as its base too so nobody will try to claim that it’s a kit car or some unknown foreign thing. The interior of this 1998 Mercedes-Benz C43 DTM remains stock with features such as seating for five adults, climate control, power windows and Mercedes-Benz branded radio with cassette player. But its been reupholstered in a fetching Porsche Riviera blue and white theme to match the overall outrageous factor of this car. The leather is reportedly imported from Italy.

Engine

This 1998 Mercedes-Benz C43 DTM packs a rebuilt 4.3-liter V8 that’s also been given a host of upgrades. These include new timing chains, valve cover gaskets, water pump, resurfaced heads, new head bolts, new O-rings, a new oil pan seat kit, and more. There’s a 6-speed manual transmission and a Quaife limited-slip differential sending drive to the rear wheels. Then, you’ve got a big brake kit, a Valvetronic exhaust system with custom center-mounted exit, and the aforementioned upgraded suspension. All these make for a show car that’s pretty nice to drive as well, which can’t be said of most show car builds.
