I remember seeing one in Munchen, Germany around 2013 or 14, during a holiday, on a high-end luxury and sports car dealership. Asking price was 90 000 euros if I remember correctly. It's insane how valuable they got nowadays. I would be happy with a regular 300 CE-24. The C124 is one of Mercedes most elegant coupes ever released by them.

I remember seeing a red AMG Hammer sedan in the 80's on the east coast at a highway rest stop. It looked absolutely stunning then, and as far as I'm concerned, still does to this day. If you haven't seen one, your really missing out. It has a powerful presence like nothing else. This blue AMG hammer coupe looks stunning. Thank you.

@johnm1008 Год назад

I almost bought an AMG Hammer from the Lamborghini dealership in Columbus Ohio around 2007. I think they wanted around $20,000 which for me in my early 20s would have been a lot to pay for an old used Mercedes that was 100% going to be my daily driver, and only car. I want to say that it was a missed opportunity but had I bought that car I would have either driven it into the ground because I couldn't afford to properly maintain it or I would have wrecked it somewhere along the way. I would have had fun driving it though.

Get/don't get it. They're history, rare, part of the AMG legacy on one hand and on the other they're modified, temperamental, money pits that only hold/appreciate so long as people "gotta have it." Too volatile for me if I ever have bonkers cash on hand to start a car collection.

Between old sports cars hiking up because rich people have more money than sense, and wannabe drifters smashing every good body panel for every 80's-00's Japanese sports car, to hot rodders doing the same to American muscles and now on to trucks, the average Joe can't even get a 50 year old truck that's 3/4 rusted out for less than 5k.

I may be in the minority, and it is my opinion, it is a neat car. However, I look at owning this akin to owning a boat. Not for me, better if a friend owns it and I can enjoy it. The worry, the fragility, expense, the temperamental nature- what real "Fun" is it? Great, you can evoke envy or such from a certain segment of the car community...wow, that's awesome. I could be wrong, definitely true, but experience with human nature says I'm more right than wrong
