WTB white or red c55 amg within 6-8 hr drive from nor. Cali
Our budget is 13k cash and we would prefer either of the two colors. Preferable under 100k but if the car has been serviced we would be ok with slightly higher miles.

This will be a car for my wife and she is kinda picky so it has to be well taken care off lol.

Any sellers?

Ive seen all deals online now and theres nothing that meets all the needs we want.

I think you might be looking for a long time. Red especially is a rare color on a rare car. To find that with under 100k and in state is going to be slow going.

Good luck thought it is a great car.

your best bet is finding one in cali so at least you got that going for you...

13k can find you a clean one under 100k

good luck!

I am actually looking for about 1 year, though. No luck C55 is a really rare car in US. C55 with low miles and in a good condition is a unicorn.

I took a plane ride and drove mine 8.5 hrs. home. Specifically wanted Diamond Schwartz Metallic with not too many miles. Took about 6 mos. before I found one worth the hassle. Being patient when buying a used AMG is key, but you already know this.

I found mine in Cincinnati with 79k and new tires; flew out and drove it home, but I too looked for almost a year before finding the right one.
