Owners cite specific but not always consistent production figures: C36 US totals given as 401 (1995), 296 (1996) and 199 (1997), C43 as fewer than 1,500 across roughly two US years, 546 C43s imported for 1999, and about 772 C43 wagons worldwide with none sold in North America. Rarity, not mileage, is treated as the core value driver.
