hi . i im in the market for a c32 and will most likely buy one . my family is in the car business and i can get an 02 with ~60k miles for about $11,00 (going by average costs of previous auctions)

is than concerns i should have with buying a benz with 60k and up mileage.

any maintenance at 60k , 70k, 80k

any problems anyone has with those amount of miles

im coming from audi where timing belts were pretty much the only thing that had to be done every 70k

Intercooler pump usually starts going out from 50k .

Heated seats start to go out and the seat modules for the front seats.

32 price are SHI*************** even with the low production # in all three years. Just like Euroking says, check the tranny, Sc clutch, do a search you will find a lot of answers.

The cars are pretty solid. Electrical issues the main concern. As stated above seat control modules and IC pump. But the pump is a $200 repair and there is a link to a $20 seat control module repair on here.

But for $11K how can you go wrong? If it only lasts a few years (which I doubt) you just dump it. I'm at 99,930 clicks on my 02.

Is the IC pump replacement a DIY or easily scale?
How do you like them H&Rs?
