$7,500 – Sunnyvale, CA:
“I am selling my 1997 C36 AMG. I have had it since 1999 and it has and still is a pleasure to drive. This is a rare model, and an even rarer final year 1997 which has the 5 speed transmission and increased horsepower of 276 compared to the 1995 and 1996 versions that had 4 speed transmissions and 268HP. If memory serves, there were only 236 1997 C36’s imported to North America. I have attended various AMG Private Lounge events at Laguna Seca and it’s always the only C36 present.
I am only selling because I need a larger vehicle and unfortunately don’t have space to keep this garaged otherwise. It has always been garaged and I have maintained it per normal MB schedule.
I have performed the latest oil change (mobile 1 synthetic + MB oil filter) at the dealer on 2018-03-24.
I have replaced all four tires with new Falken Ziex RE950 (staggered 225/45/17 front, 245/40/17 rear) on 2018-03-31.

I have been checking, but have not found any other 1997 C36 for sale in the country for the past year. It’s a very rare car. Last 1997 C36 I saw was sold at auction mid 2017 for $7500 which was not in as good shape as my car.
