Mercedes-AMG Special Edition Parts Available But Repairs Stay Pricey
A motorcyclist attacked a Mercedes-AMG driver in a viral incident, spitting on and smashing the car's mirror before fleeing; repairs for the rare special edition vehicle are estimated at 70,000–100,000 baht despite part availability.
A motorcyclist attacked a driver in a viral video incident, spitting on and smashing the side mirror of a Mercedes-AMG C43 4MATIC Coupe Special Edition before fleeing. The victim filed a police complaint with Buddhisamnon police, who have issued a summons for the suspect, identified as Mr. Get, and are gathering evidence for legal proceedings. The suspect has since made his social media accounts private amid heavy criticism.
The damaged vehicle is one of only 120 Mercedes-AMG C43 4MATIC Coupe Special Edition units in Thailand, and just 18 in blue. Initial estimates put repair costs at 70,000–100,000 baht for genuine mirror replacement, labor, and sensor recalibration, pending official inspection. Mechanic "Brother V10" from V10 Garage in Pathum Thani, who has serviced the same model, clarified that while parts are not rare, the premium vehicle's genuine components, labor, and electronic sensor adjustments remain expensive. Social media users widely agreed that despite part availability, repair costs for premium vehicles remain substantial, and the perpetrator may face significant liability if the service center confirms full replacement is needed.
