Mercedes-AMG C43 (W202)

The Mercedes-AMG C43 W202 has appreciated 25 percent over the past twelve months, with the median transaction price now standing at £7,600, though the sample size of just three sales warrants caution in interpreting the trend.

The car occupies a stable modern classic tier with a collectibility score of 5, suggesting emerging interest among enthusiasts, but desirability remains low and liquidity is thin. The absence of active listings and minimal trading volume make this a challenging segment for both buyers seeking stock and sellers needing certainty on pricing.

The 3-year base projection points to £12,868—a 69 percent appreciation from current levels—with the 5-year outlook reaching £15,350, implying a doubling of value. These projections rest on the premise that interest in AMG variants from the W202 generation will strengthen as the model cohort ages into genuine classic territory.

Confidence in these forecasts is low, reflecting the thin transaction history and speculative nature of the market for this particular variant. Prospective buyers or holders should monitor whether liquidity improves as inventory tightens and collector appetite for late-1990s performance sedans develops.
