so i am about to buy my first MB, c43 amg tomorrow...1999 with 134k on it.

i ran a carfax and it looks like it has jumped around to a 4th owner passing through dealer auctions in various states starting in florida. should i be suspect? the car looks great. runs great. i drove it. feels mint. my concern is the auctions and the current owner saying he is the 2nd owner. maybe he just didnt know? also the car is odometer exempt bc it is over 10 years old. below are the details.

1st owner.
