Buying a used 2017 C43 Advice
I'm looking at a used 2017 C43 from a non-MB dealer and am looking for some advice on anything I should specifically look for on it to detect possible problems. It has 12k miles and is fully loaded, but is about $5k under the less loaded Certified 2017's in my area so my warning bells are going off full strength.
Are there any ways to detect if someone has done something that might invalidate the warranty?
Currently it doesn't include any of the service information, so am working with Mercedes to try and track those down. Can/will Mercedes not honor a warranty repair if the service details aren't in the service book with the car? (This is what the warranty pamphlet from MB says, but I have a difficult time buying it.)

I'm actually looking to sell my vehicle if you're interested :-) - https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used...ting=221548808.
With that said, the warranty is transferable. I bought mine at a non MB dealership and I took it in for 2 TSB's and 1 warranty issue (rear spoiler was lifting) within 2 weeks of owning it. AND, the service books that came with my car were brand new, no writing or anything.
I'd use iseecars.com and input the vin of what you're looking at to get the carfax.
Being its an AMG I'd check the tires, brakes, oil but at 12k miles I can't see it having too many issues.
