I don't think $5k is cheap for a C36 with 160k miles. I think for the same money you could find something with to correct front bumper and taken better care of. If the car is local, then go check it out for sure. Make sure and post back here about its health and possibly VIN# so we can avoid it in the future, if not in good condition.

If its not if good shape then its more like $5k for the car and another $5k to get it running right. But if you the kind of guy that likes to always have something to do, then I say go for it. However, you might want to ask around here and see if anyone has spotted any good cars for sale near you. You might avoid a pretty large headache.

The front bumper is a C43......I say it devalues the car right there.

i agree with this. having a different bumper screams of "wrecked" and previous owner/fixer was DGAF about hiding it.

CL posting was flagged and removed though, so
