Used Mercedes-Benz AMG C 43 for sale near Santa Ana, CA

This is my first experience with Fletcher Jones and it has been a good one so far. Buying a car long distance, sight unseen is always a bit of a challenge and potentially a risk. I feel very good about the responsiveness and customer care provided by Fletcher Jones staff. As car delivery is still in front of us, the jury is out on this experience, but I anticipate a very positive outcome. Fletcher Jones reputation provided a lot of confidence.

Enjoyed my experience here at this dealership. Came out with a brand new car! Anthony was extremely helpful and guided us to find the car we were looking for.

had my c 43 since 2017 and still going i have stage 1 tun up and i can blow the socks out of most cars including mustangs

Although the car we wanted didnt work out, the customer service was excellent. MARCUS is a STAR! He should be in management. I have brought many mercedes in the past. Carmax is turning the tide when it comes to purchasing vehicles. The best thing to do when you buy any car is to take it to another mechanic, and then bring it back to the place to be fixed within the warranty period. The Truck I purchased from them a year ago had a few issues but they did take care of it and I've not have any problems since. Carmax has set the bar high for purchasing returning and anything to do with cars. BRAVO!

Owning this car, and drives like rocket with F1 turbo tech and 4CYL. Engine difference is just surprising. Love the steering and looking forward to upgrade to 21' rims and apply upgrades.

was a smooth experience & did not have to spend all day at the dealership.

This does NOT refer to either my dealer's sales or service departments, both of which are excellent. But I have to relate that a life-of-the-car part, the steering control module, failed at only 8,500 miles, and as luck would have it, just after the new car warranty expired. It required two visits and over $1400 to repair. I've not heard anything from Mercedes about even a partial reimbursement- not that I really expect anything.

This car is a masterpiece of engineering and looks good from all angles in coupe form. The interior has the right blend of old school buttons, dials and displays giving it a luxurious look and feel you expect from Mercedes. It looks more like a fighter cockpit inside. The seats are comfortable and very supportive as a daily driver. The 3.0L twin turbo engine is superb and only marginally slower than a C63 getting you closer to 4.1s 0-60/0-100 times than the stated 4.7s. There’s not many cars on the road that will outgun the C43. The optional sports exhaust is a must have, I never turn it off. The 69/31 spilt rear biased 4matic system keeps the car firmly planted in all conditions. The car is packed with more safety systems than you could want. I have 18” wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4s that soak up the bumps and eliminates skidding/jumping you sometimes get on cold mornings. Avoid the 19” with run-flats at all cost. As an overall package there are not many cars that hold a candle to the C43. I absolutely love this car.

Es exelete lugar para comprar carros buen servicio y buenos precios sin duda el mejor lo recomiemdo siempre a todos deberian de ingresar es buen lugar

Owned a W205 C43 AMG coupe and loved it. Wasn’t practical for a family so went to a couple SUV’s. Then this pure F1 tech machine came out and I had to have it! I love the new F1 tech, the handling, standard rear steering, ride quality and interior tech. Definitely recommend!

I purchased a truck for my business here after having a bad experience at another dealer. Aaron personally went to their second location to pick my truck up. Thanks Pacific

Sales customer service was the best experience ever ! Candace could not have been nicer, more accommodating and made the process painless. Alex facilitated the transaction and the same. we are very happy and would continue to buy from her and Alex! You can buy a car anyplace, why not where they take great care of you instead of the stress normally associated with buying a car. 10 stars....

I was primarily looking for M4, but after test driving C43 it won my heart instantly. Transmission, acceleration, turns, etc. are lot smother but sportier than BMW.... Id highly recommend this car.

We purchased a pre-owned 2017 Corvette Stingray Z51 from Mercedes-Benz of Foothill Ranch, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. MB of FH provided a detailed pre-owned reconditioning summary along with the vehicle’s CARFAX, so we had complete confidence in the history and that everything had been thoroughly checked and serviced. Our Sales Professional, Conrad Cave, made the entire process smooth and stress-free. He was upfront, transparent, and answered all of our questions without any pressure. The Stingray was in excellent condition—exactly as described—and we couldn’t be happier with our purchase. We highly recommend Mercedes-Benz of Foothill Ranch and Conrad Cave if you’re looking for a quality vehicle and a top-notch buying experience.

Fast, comfortable, and great electronics. Fingertip control, great sound system and fancy LED lights make it all happen. It will find a parking space and park itself if you want it to.

Had the car for four years only had to do basic maintenance like tires an front brakes rear brakes tcase transmission service rear diff. Driven the thing like 65k in those four years perfect for road trips handles pretty decent in the snow an ice, you can tell it's a little heavy going down hill but the trans in snow mode does it's wizardry magic an can keep you going slow. Uphill is a little more exciting in the snow due to the rear wheel bias on the 4matic system but once it kicks the rear end out it reels it back in. It definitely likes the colder air I don't know if it's the intercooler being heat soaked but living somewhere where it's 100 plus in the summer I can tell it's not as peppy versus the winter time when it's in the teens. Interior has held up great with kids. Only thing that's broke on the inside is the springs for the cup holders an the trunk button which wasn't my fault had a friend driving it an they pulled it to hard. The exterior is honestly timeless you can't tell it's a four year old car not to flashy or dull it's a suttle boujee. The service at Mercedes has always been super, everyone thinks you're going to pay an arm an a leg for service but honestly only having to go in once maybe twice a year it's not terrible versus every 5k on other cars I've owned. The factory warranty ran out but Mercedes offered extended for an extra fours on top of the factory unlimited mileage bumper to bumper so they give you peace of mind an it makes you feel like they have faith in their own product to give you unlimited miles. In all the experience has been exciting the turbos spool up quick an gives you a little stu stu, from a dig your pretty quick, when you down shift the exhaust gives you some pops an bangs. Interior looks nice don't really think it'll age terribly considered everything now a days comes with giant screens. An as a technician for a different manufacturer it's not terrible to work on. I would recommend it to anyone.

I've dealt with So Bay Mbz for a number of years. Received good customer service from Sang, Tom and the general manager was willing to assist me. Keith Cambra is a KEEPER 👏🏻 👌 He would call me and email me to be sure I was satisfied. I am still learning my GLC 350e. Thank you all❣️ Best Regards, Ms Kathie Humphrey

The car runs great, has plenty of pep, comfortable seats and and easy access for controls. Has ample interior room. Traded a 300 SLK for it and there is no comparison.

I want to thank Ivan for making my experience of purchasing my vehicle wonderful! I was so nervous walking in and he was very kind and knowledgeable. He made the process so smooth and easy!

Oh man. What a fun car to drive. I have the cabriolet and it is awesome to drive on a sunny day. Great handling around curves and great acceleration when needed. No noticeable turbo lag of torque steer. Only wish there were more roads around to push the envelope.

Awesome awesome performance from the AMG engine. It is comparable to the Porsche Boxster are used to have. This is a fun vehicle to drive on the interstate.

Great service and smooth transaction all the way. Very happy with my car and our sales person. The Used Car Manager was awesome and very kind. We Weill sure be back

Every one who we talk to in the buying process was great ! Definitely will be back soon Thank you

Aaron helped my husband with his truck purchase. We are very happy that the process was very smooth.

I drove the 2017 C43 for about 2 years and change. I sold it to upgrade to the 2019 C43 since I loved the car so much. The main draw for upgrading was the face lift that was quite significant. The amount of technology included in the vehicle makes this the most engrossing and complete C class ever made. So much technology to configure and play with. A buttload of telemetry data can be yours. The outside and interior styling is 100% AMG. It basically looks 95% like last years C63s. The vehicle now cannot be mistaken for a C300 its an AMG through and through. The reason I gave it a low reliability score is if you're going to own this car BUY THE TIRE AND RIM Warranty. The wheels are very sensitive to pot holes and will be destroyed. Prepare your bank account or plan ahead. Even though thats a bit of a pain especially on my 2017 where I was not insured on the wheels and tires I loved the car.

After 3 trips to the dealership we wound up buying the used 2022 CX-9 we had been looking at all along. We appreciated the courtesy, professionalism, knowledge of the product, and minimal sales pressure of Taylor, the sales rep. He went out of his way to help us before, during, and after the selling process. The only reason for our review's less than perfect 5 is that a follow up email to obtain contract information, and a postal mailing of an owner's manual were both forgotten resulting in us having to make needless 25 mile drives back to the dealership. These were promised by a finance person, not the sales person.

This is the 7th Mercedes I’ve purchased. I purchased this one to replace my wife’s beautiful 2016 E350 Sport. I wanted a replacement to her E350 that wouldn’t be a downgrade and if possible was better. I looked at the new E300, E450, & CLA45. In short: the E300 cost more, had a tiny 4 cylinder and cost a ton to bring it up to the level of her old E350. The E450 was great but it was just very expensive. The CLA45 except for its engine and possibly transmission is made by Nissan for Mercedes. Some may quibble about the new C43’s Engine not being made in Affalterbach by one guy. But it pumps out 385HP and 384 ft lbs of torque mated to a 9 speed AMG transmission. We live in the Santa Cruz mountains of Northern California in the SF Bay Area. Anyone familiar with the area knows that our daily commute is both fun as well as challenging. Nothing is close by and owning to the weather, occasional road hazards and unpredictable conditions. You need both comfort (luxury) and performance (power and handling). Defensive driving up here is required. The little C43 is just a dream. Right after we bought it we were hit with the heaviest snow/sleet we’ve had in 15 years in our areas. The new “Slippery Mode” and 4MATIC really proved their value even with the stock summer tires. Rain traction and handling was good even on HWY 9. The new intelligent headlights are perfect for night driving in the mountains helping a lot with the rain and fog. We love the updates interior especially the new controls, AMG steering wheel and multi-contour seats (we avoided the AMG performance seats as they suck. It’s like sitting on a jerking board wrapped in a Kleenex). The 19” wheels price their worth immediately on twisting roads and under challenging conditions. The AMG suspension is spectacular. The updated engine is just perfect for this vehicle and a great update over last year’s C43. The exhaust notes are really the best they’ve ever been in this model.Leather is a MUST for us too. All in all the 2019 C43 is a lot more car than you paid for. We drive our cars in a spirtited fashion and that’s what our daily commute really requires. The C43 feels like it was custom built to our needs. I’d avoided the C43 in the past because it just felt too rough. It had a good price point but failed to deliver enough comfort and luxury along with its performance. The older model exhaust notes weren’t pleasant and had an unappealing metallic note.the old interior sounded loud to me and that made it feel small and cold. The one I test drove also had the AMG performance seats and they were thinly padded and uncomfortable even after a few minutes. Nearly every YouTube reviewer will tell you the same about those seats. The older C43 has more of a sleeper style too. Now that said the new one looks slightly more like an AMG and is attractive but still looks like a normal C300 from the front to the casual observer. The rear and sides of the 2019 C43 tells you exactly what you’re dealing with. The cabin is well appointed and luxurious. Behind the wheel you the C43 serves up plenty of confidence and performance. It’s impossible not to enjoy this car. The other thing is that it’s shockingly efficient and cheap to operate. It’s more fuel efficient than her E350 and is averaging 24mpg on a daily commute involving mountains and city driving. The insurance on this car is about exactly the same as in her EClass. Over all the C43 is the sweet spot I think for 4 door performance sedans in the Mercedes line up. It is better overall than the CLA45. It’s also cheaper and more practical than the extremely fun, but higher TCO C63.
