Need advice on C36's with high mileage
I've just seen this 1996 C36 for 10500CDN and it looked like it was in decent shape for an 11 year old car.
I really like these AMG's but the only thing bothering me is that it has 245000 km's (~150000miles) and this is the only C36 for sale in Ontario (I've never even seen one in Ontario since today, they are pretty rare here..).
By the way anyone in Ontario with C36's/C43's?
I haven't looked at the engine yet but would it be wise to get a C36 with that high of a mileage for thhe price they're asking?
I know what to look for already engine-wise(wire harness, headgasket being the most common problems..), anything else to look out for in C36's with those kinds of mileage?
Thanks for the help guys.

97 C36, 05 C230k
The 96 had the 4 speed transmission. It will happily go a lot more than it has at this point. The C36 engine is quite strong, and should see much more use yet as well. What you will undoubtedly need to do is suspension bushings, shocks, brakes, ball joints, heater fan, A/C condenser, unless the seller can provide recent receipts for this work. I am in T.O., BTW. Contact me via email if you need any more info.
