A friend of mine bought an 02 last week from an MB dealer with 33k miles for $26.5k. This included a 3 year, 100k starmark warranty. Car is silver/black with every option except nav.

C32 is a superb car
Just keep in mind that before 60k miles the dreaded I/C pump will wave you goodbye unless it already did so to the first owner therefore it got replaced

Could you explain how the starmark warranty works? Can you add it to any car and how much does it cost?

Check post #5 by Bif Powell:

https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...ht=biff+powell

he wrote a complete description on what things to look for when buying a used C32. I actually looked at one that was on sale near my area and he was dead on on several things like the Valeo radiator, the i/c pump, the windows and the heated seats.

By the way, Bif if you read this THANKS that was great info!

I have a related question. What is more important when buying a used C32, year or mileage? On one hand, newer C32's will have more bugs worked out, on the other hand, lower mileage C32's will have less wear. For example, if you had to choose between an 02 with 20k miles and an 03 with 40k miles, which would it be?

I believe the Starmark is just an extension of the factory warranty. Not sure of the cost, but I think it's expensive, and I think it's only available thru MB dealers on cars in their inventory.
