Buy super low mileage 02 C32?

Local MB dealer has a one owner, clean car fax '02 C32. Only has 6,800 miles and is asking $17,800. A bit high, but car is mint. Will do a PPI most likely as I am nervous of no service reports on the car fax. Am aware of the Tranny issues, seat control modules and other electrical problems, but with no service records am worried of sludge for oil, etc. Thoughts? Thanks!

if its a merc dealer then i would think you are buying a great car,as long as the mileage is guaranteed and you have a good warranty with it i would say go for it

Wow what a find. I'm curious when the miles were driven. All in first year then it sat? That is less than 700 miles per year or one 15 mile trip per week.

Wow! I thought our C32 had low miles. It had 11000 when we bought from Mercedes of Daytona Beach 4 years ago it now has 17000 on it. It has been perefect and a very nice car to drive. We will be taking our first long distance trip with it this week going from Jacksonville to Houston.
