So 3 cars and baby on the way I'm kicking around selling my weekend fun car my 1996 C36. Mechanically in perfect condition minus a minor oil leak I'll address before sale which is upper timing cover gasket and oil level sensor leak. I need more pics, but below should give a pretty good idea of condition. I'm the second owner and link below shows my car from germancarsforsale article. http://germancarsforsaleblog.com/199...mg-4/#comments
Highlights:
-Low Mileage 90,700 miles. I bought it with 79k miles 3 years ago.
-Near perfect interior-original C36 floor mats are worn and there is random flecks of white paint on different areas of interior that is only noticeable if I point them out to you (I bought car with them already there so again minor)
-I've replaced fuel filter, front brake pads, washer reservoir grommets and some lines, valve cover gaskets/grommets/half moons, transmission fluid, 3k Mobile1 0W-40 full synthetic changes/filters and new spark plugs.
-Again, mechanically no warning lights and car runs like a top!
Cons:
-Paint is starting to rust on both driver/passenger doors and wheel wells and some scuffs on bumpers, trunk lid and what appears to be a golf ball ding on top of car albeit no paint chip (there prior to my ownership). Each panel probably has some minor scuff or tiny scratch so I think a respray is in the next owners future if he/she is looking for pristine example.
-Headliner is in great shape except I keep the shade open on sunroof because if you close it you will get snowed on as it's worn.
I'm thinking maybe $7k so let me know if I'm out of my gourd for thinking I can get $7k minimally, but I will say anything less I'll just keep it and eventually have it painted.
Thoughts?
I think you're a little on the high side given the number of rust issues needing addressed. I recently purchased a 1996 C36 with only 66K Kms and perfect exterior/interior for $3000 CAD/$2300 USD. I also just purchased a mint, two owner 1999 C43 with 130K Kms. for $6K CAD/$4500 USD. The market is starting to climb on pre merger AMG's but you may want to drop your price if you're looking to sell right away. Good luck!

Definitely not in a rush, but boy I'd like to see your '96 you bought for $2300!
