1995 C36
Thoughts about a 1995 C36 with original 55K miles, asking price $4,500.00
Are these cars rare and is this possibly a good investment?
It will need some TLC for sure.

12' W204 C63 AMG coupe "T-Rex", 12' W451 Smart Fortwo Pulse (99' W202 C43 AMG sold)
Any photos? Can't say much regarding the price as I don't live in the USA, but considering the 55k miles the 36 is barely run in. Do you have maintenance history fot the vehicle? Any rust (sills, bottom of wings, etc.) ?
I'm sure some 36 owners will soon chime in

No maintenance history, the car was impounded and is being sold by the scrap yard owner.

I simply called my dealer with the VIN number to see what services were done on the vehicle. Not having anything serviced on this car for almost 20 years at a dealership does not give me a warm and cozy feeling, as in my opinion, especially an AMG C36 car should be serviced regularly at a dealership in order to have the car properly maintained.
Now of course it is possible that the vehicle was maintained by the owner him or herself, but I am not a risk-taker when it comes to not having a service history.

22 X3, 21 330e, 97 M3, 97 C36 (sold), but on the hunt for a clean, low-mile C43!
Damn, this might just be the "golden nugget in the barn" find of the century! And it's the red C36 you've been lusting after for so long PJMak!! Best of luck, and let us know how it turns out.
PS - seeing how immaculate that interior is, especially those front seats, the mileage on the car at 55K might just be legit!

A red c36 I came across on ebay long time ago and didn't even know what it was at first is how I first fell in love with w202s
I used to have a silver c36 but that one was a nightmare.

If all checks out, I am ready to buy it.
The car has some downsides to it.
I called the seller. Hes not budging on the price and he thinks he knows it all about w202 amgs claiming this is a 10k car plus the car has $680 due at DMV for past due fees.

Him thinking its a 10k car as is. No way a car that shows no record whatsoever of it being properly maintained is worth full street value. Also paint seems in rough shape, will most likely need a full respray. If it sat out long enough to peel than it set long enough for the rest of the paint to fade....making it impossible to color match.
also we dont know why the car was not registered. What if it couldnt pass smog?
My sister has a red w202 c230 and it has the same issue with clear coat for some reason. There are literally chunks of it coming off.
