Question Thinking of picking up a 2004 C32 for $25k

It has 49k miles on it. What do I need to look out for? Yeah, I could search but figured that might take some time. Thanks guys-

As long as it got extended warranty then why not. If not it can be risky.

Got it. It's at a non MB lot and car fax shows one owner. On my 2000 c280 with 65k, it's been very reliable at least up to now (I think the trans might have issues).

Dealer said they can replace trans for $7k with is not far from the actual value of the car......

I also see one with 35k miles for 27k without NAV. Hope to pick one up today.... just waiting for the freezing rain to melt The only recall I could find was related to seat belt fastening issues. No trans issues like the 2002.

I owned a 2003 I Bought New

has it 4 years! Loved the comfirt of the seats, the 349 HP, great car!

Watch out for minor issues with supercharger that car had. Not sure if they ever figured out the problem.

Get the warranty. I paid $2,500 for mine extended warranty, and it more than paid for itself.

Good luck.

Thanks! I hope to take a look this Sunday and the extended warranty options look good.

I wouldn't buy one of these cars w/o a warranty. Beyond that, no different than any other used car -- get it inspected, drive it, check maintenance records, etc.

I noticed that with the rear right passenger seatbelt....I wonder how common this is

Seems like a good price assuming clean history. Dealer or Private?

I'm also in the market for a C32 or C55 so I've been looking and that's one of the best prices I've seen.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
