Found a C43 for $10,000.....

I found a black on black 1999 C43 AMG. It has about 56,000 miles and the owner is asking for $10,000. The price sounds amazing to me and too good to pass up. Sell my C280 and get this! But like people say if its too good to be true it probably is BUT what questions should I ask the owner besides has the car been in an accident? THANK!

AMG
Here's a short list:

Ask owner why he is selling.
Run Carfax
Is the title a salvage title? Flood?
What damage is on the car?

Hope it works out for you

In addition to the other advice

pay for an independent mechanic to do a thorough inspection; a couple of hundred dollars is good insurance.

Good luck and I hope it all works out for you!

Most people who own AMG's know what they're worth. That deal sounds a little fishy because of the mileage, but make sure you find out why!! Who knows, it could be legit (and may need a new transmission)!

I would say it has the salv title or something has to be wrong with it, because even if you need to sell right away, there would be tons of people to buy it at a higher price for sure....

you could probably get more than $10k selling it to a dealer too.
