2018 AMG C43 Coupe
Another should I buy this thread

Back again looking for advice. Found a 2018 c43 coupe with 17k miles for 45k. Found it at a dealership that looks to specialize in GMC trucks that is about an hour outside a major city. Not their usual inventory. They have had it for three months it looks like from the autocheck. Going to be getting a carfax tomorrow to verify but the autocheck seems fine. I am not really trying to use the time on their lots as a negotiating tactic but more of looking for red flags is all. I know that is not a ton of info but didnt know if posting a link or the autocheck would be appropriate.. I blacked out location and dealer name. Again waiting on a carfax but here it is. Just not sure why the two titles and delay. I am sure you are all sick of me posting for advice but hopefully done soon!

It's tough to say without knowing what are the packages and options that are part of the car, since the price can vary vastly based on that. For example, I can spec a fully loaded 2019 C43 Coupe for $75k if needed.

Considering an MSRP of $60k - with depreciation $45k might be a little high. I would say $35k might be a good price for such a car.

call local detailer or panel beater to go there with paint gauge and torch. Average readings should be 120 microns. I have an ex Demo here at the shop 2000kms repainted quarter panel and boot.

If there is a lease repossession, does it go to auctions? I guess the dealer could CPO such cars too, right?

They could but I would think cars that are popular do not even make it to Auction.

Probably a little high for a non-CPO. I recently got my '18 C43 sedan (CPO) w/ ~ 11k miles for around $45.5k. I've seen certified '17 C43 coupes for low-mid 40's and '18 ones for high 40's-50k.
