Talking Did I pay too much? Any info appreciated!

First time post here, although not even close to a first time reader. I have a question, and wanted some of your professional opinions.

I just bought a MINT 2003 C32 AMG with every option except Navigation and phone. It is Silver/Black and has 6600 miles on it. The vehicle was first registered just less than 10 months ago (One owner car).

I paid $42,800.

So my question to you is:

Did I pay an appropriate amount, way too much, or did I steal it?

I appreciate any input from you guys/girls, and look forward to further posting in this fantastic forum!

Take care and God Bless,
Nate

Price seems fair given mileage and model year. I paid $36,500 this past Thanksgiving for a 2002 with 35K miles, excellent condition throughout, very few options.

On the warrenty and scheduled maintenance thing. Just take it into any MB dealer when you need service. If you're wondering what's covered under the maint., its the basics like oil change and few other things. I have not had a problem receiving service on warrenty and maint items since having mine. If you want more details, just call your local dealer. Enjoy!

that's a great deal. 2003 cars should be worth more with that little mileage.

"Sicc" : I am sorry about your deal falling through. I saw that car on Ebay myself, and almost bought it myself since it had nav. and everything else for 43,900. Can you tell me why it fell through? Jus' curious. Good luck to you!

"TugBoat" : I appreciated your info on the price of my vehicle, along with the maintenance information. I hope I don't have much need for the service department, but I wanted to know what to expect anyways. Thanks!

"FrankW" : Thanks for your opinion on the price. Looks like I didn't do too bad on this car. Thanks again!

To all :

Can ANYBODY supply the number of 2003 C32 AMG's that were produced? I can't find this info anywhere, and I am beginning to think that maybe this information is impossible to get, like maybe AMG doesn't release it?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Take care,
Nate

You got a deal!

It would be at least 2k-3k more in CA.
