Would you recommend buying a Black series that has been part of Gumball 3000?

Hello all, this is my first time I participate in these forums. Like all of you, I have fallen in love of the C63 amg BS however couldnt afford one (yet) now I am looking for one and they are quite rare. I found a red one however had the Gumball 3000 sticker. I was told that it had a right front bumper hit and was fixed by the owner. Would you recommend buying this car knowing the high tech and delicate nature of this car or find another one? your input is highly appreciated.

I wouldn't worry about the accident so long as I had the car inspected and also would wanna see all service records.

Black series owners tend to take very good care is their cars I think

Is it a one owner car? The state of the cars interior and exterior will tell you how carefully it was cared for

Hi Peter. Thanks for the reply. Its 2nd ownership. What I know about gumball is that it is a very serious coast to coast race in the US. So the damage could be significant. The car looks gr8 inside out however I have no idea to what extent was the original damage. Specially it is in the front. I ll do the inspection. The issue is i dont want to buy a car that i will only repair and not enjoy ☺.

Was the airbag deployed? If so, I would stay away otherwise inspect it and if it was fixed properly with no chassis/frame damage then why not just get the

Where is that car?
Not many red C63 BS for the US (something like 6 or so). Is it a 2012?
Which package and how many miles?
For sure get it inspected. GL
