98 C43 Amg
Hey guys my name is Andy and I'm brand new to the C43 family. I'm currently looking at C 43 AMG. But don't know what I should look for as far as problems or issues. The car has 105,000 on it. The only known issue is the salesmen said he had it on the scanner and it showed a misfire on cylinders 1&2. When he started and fired right up.. But then idled a little rough but not too bad.. So what do you guys think is it just the misfire or could it be electrical??

105,000 miles is actually pretty low miles on a C43 at this point. They are extremely good highway cruisers and a shocking number of them were daily-driven for a very long time. They are also effortlessly powerful at interstate speeds. Going from 80mph to 100mph in seconds without even downshifting is a common practice. Just this morning a jack *** in a Sonata bogging down the fast lane decided to floor it as I went around him. I didn't even gear down from 5th to beat him.

Misfire is almost certainly electrical. These engines and their ignition systems are absolutely bulletproof. Almost certainly a bad coil or something. Just pull the OBD2 codes and see what's showing up. Others here will know more than me on this particular issue
