^ I'd have to agree, i'd save up your money for something more significant or mod's, etc. This car really can't have much of an upside given that u have a car that's much more fun to drive in the c4s, and this thing will most likely end up costing just as much as the purchase price in repair, maintenance etc, i would just hold out for the real thing (GT3). just my 2c.

Agree! Tempting as it is to get into an AMG for peanuts, this is a potential disaster. The 2.3-16v had character at least and it still looks good.

Buy it, and buy it now. My second Benz was a C36,1996, bought it in 2000. I have owned three M3's, 650 and a 645 convert, CLK 500, E class, Cayman S, one Boxster, two Boxster S's and oddly enough a second gen MR2 Turbo. I miss that damn black C36 the most. I had the monoblocks chromed and put a HUGE stereo in it. God it was fun. Sold it to a priest from Montana and bought a 1998 M3 and a CLK, big mistake. DOOOOO IT!

Hey Chris, I didn't read the entire thread but I can see the interest. As a note, one of my business friends from Tampa had a C36 and it was one of his favorite cars of all time. To give you an idea of his eclectic tastes, he has an 850 CSI/6 Speed and a 760 Sport (he's a commercial real estate broker). He's owned Porsches, BMW's and an Audi S8 and the C43. Go for it!
