So its a 2003 C32 AMG with 66k miles on it. I am wondering if their is anything I should be wary about before checking it out. I have the vin for it so is their any way one of you guys with that car fax check thing can see if their is anything wrong with it? Also what should I look for when checking it out and should I go for a third party warranty? Thanks in advance guys!

Assuming it's THIS C32, the carfax is free and has prior accident damage, as I briefly looked at that one and then passed because of that.

Yes it is the exact one. Well that was disappointing. If you dont mind me asking where did you find the free carfax for it?

Right in that listing on cars.com. Just click on the link in the ad that says view the free CARFAX Vehicle History Report, right above Seller's Notes.

I got excited the other day when that one popped up, too. Also shows that I sadly know way too much about every C32/C55 currently out there for sale as I'm looking, too. =P

Also just fyi I got a warning for asking someone to run a carfax for me.

Accident was 5 years ago and it doesn't have a salvage title... still a good deal.

Not sure where you're located, but if you're somewhere close to the Canadian border, you may consider looking into Canadian cars (since CAD is down in the gutters right now); but I'm also not sure what fees you have for importing a car from Canada.

Here's one of the listings from Toronto:

which translates to a '03 with 79k miles for roughly $6k USD with current exchange rates.
