THE APPEAL
Best described as a wolf in sheep's clothing, the C32 AMG is a German powerhouse disguised as a practical family wagon.
A rear-wheel drive estate equipped with a supercharged V6 will make a trip to the shops a memorable experience every time, yet the sensible styling both inside and out disguises the madness.
Behind Mercedes usual layer of elegance lies impressive performance with only the most subtle signs highlighting its AMG DNA.
Without question you get a lot of car for your money and as such you’re provided with a level of enjoyment difficult to replicate.

THE HISTORY AND PAPERWORK

THE INTERIOR
- Black leather seats with AMG detailing
- Comfortable and spacious
- Good condition with minor marks on the rear seats
Inside the car, it’s business as usual from the masters of the understated.
The German Manufacture has been setting the example for high-end motors since the dawn of time and in this C32 the experience is no different. AMG branded leather seats with 10-way power adjustment, a textured aluminium trim plus a Bose speaker system are a few of the high-end inclusions on the car.
The overall condition is good, with the only obvious sign of wear pictured on the back seats, otherwise, it's a pleasant blend of performance and practicality.
You certainly feel important in this car, an insight into the life of a white-collared professional with places to go and meetings to attend. Very comfortable and very enjoyable.

THE EXTERIOR
- Brilliant Silver Paint
- Subtle AMG styling
- Age related marks
Simple mature styling with subtle highlights of AMG is what makes this car so attractive.
It’s under the radar, yet carries a sense of importance. A sensible companion to the otherwise outlandish engineering.
The condition overall is good but there are areas of are related wear and tear. The most noticeable is the boot hatch where there are signs of the paint bubbling but it is cosmetic. In 2013 several areas of the car were treated and repaired which almost a decade on has kept the car in overall good condition.
We have included photographs of any noticeable areas but can assure you these do not take anything away from the C32’s appeal. The AMG additions are subtle but add to the car beautifully.
17” Alloys sit in front of huge ventilated disc brakes and 4-piston callipers. V6 Kompressor badges are present on the side and an AMG badge on the rear, other than the low stance the AMG effect is camouflaged as an executive estate, ideal for the family and businessman.
