2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C43 Estate

Description

So, I’ve been keeping this car for a few years now — not because I need it, but because I love how it drives. It’s a 2018 C43 AMG Estate, the Premium Plus trim, with that big 3.0L V6 engine and 4MATIC all-wheel drive. The roof is a pan, which I’ve never seen a car do quite like that — it’s sleek and looks solid.

I’ve had it serviced regularly and it passed its 12-month MOT — no issues, no drama. The wheels are 18-inch AMG Aero 5-spoke, tremolite grey, and the car has that classic AMG styling — front and rear aprons, side skirts, even the boot logo in the dash. The interior is ARTICO leather with red stitching, which feels great to touch, and the seats have full electric adjustments — height, backrest, lumbar — so I can really get comfortable whether I’m driving or just sitting.

It’s got a 10.25-inch touchscreen with DAB radio, cruise control, and all the safety stuff: ESP, adaptive brake assist, parking sensors, collision prevention, even a pedestrian detection system that raises the bonnet if it senses an impact. I’ve used the reversing camera and parking sensors a lot — they work well.

The key bits I’ve kept: heated front seats, electric windows with one-touch, automatic dimming mirrors, a glove box with lighting, and a first aid kit just in case. There’s also a load cover and ISOFIX points for kids’ seats. I’ve even got pre-wiring for a navigation system if you’re into that.

I live in Gillingham-Dorset, near Chantry Fields — it’s a quiet spot, so I don’t have to worry about traffic or noise. I’ve been keeping it well maintained, and it’s been mostly just me driving it, so it’s still in great shape.

It’s not something I’m selling for a big profit — it’s just something I’ve grown attached to. I’m thinking of passing it on to someone who’ll appreciate the driving feel and the solid build. Price is £25,645.50 — I know that’s not cheap, but it’s what it is.

If you’re into cars with a bit of performance, and you don’t mind a bit of premium detail — this one’s for you.
