What to look for when evaluating a 80,000 mile 2006 C230
Not new to cars, but new to Mercedes. Likely going to buy a 2006 MB C230 with 80,000 for dirt cheap in relation to market value (work at a dealership). I am going to have a used car purchase inspection done. I only plan on keeping the car about 2 years - 20,000 miles.
What are the most important things to examine? I know items will arise, but trying to prevent a major $1,000+ repair in the next couple years. If it passes through the tech-used car manager- and myself, I will buy it. If there are any red flags, I will pass.
Thank you all in advance.
