It’s listed for $29k, 2017, 67k miles in Corona, California. Any thoughts, opinions?

What’s going on with the front lip?
( bottom middle )
looks nice
will want to find out history, service and any other

MaverickC43

Not have push to start?
I don’t know much about pfl models.
hopefully others chime in

And it’s all about what are the most important things to you!!

Seems to be a good price. Vehicle history should be obtained to see if there have been any reported accidents. Looks like it is missing the middle part of the OEM three-piece lip.

That’s what I saw too
but op should go look at any C43 that’s not too far.
Dealer pics always make the car look perfect
take ur time, which I know I can not do very well
lol

Helps to post a link to the listing, and/or VIN

not that hard to find

My point is that it's a little unfair to ask for opinions based on one picture, and expect everyone to go scavenger hunt for the right car. I found it too. I'm a common courtesy guy

MaverickC43

Ignore anyone that says it perfect from 1 pic

but op is new here I believe

It's light on options, but does have performance exhaust. The detail job and the fact that they listed this with a damaged, unrepaired front lip is a bit of a red flag for me personally. I would need the dealer to provide a Carfax before I'd short list it.

You don't mention a budget. It's more expensive, but it's a well optioned mid-mileage example (and a cool spec IMO) and seemingly close to your area (using that first listing as a reference point). There are other cheaper options out there, but not close by. Cast a wider net if you're willing to travel or ship.

I actually didn’t notice that at first

Run a carafax on the serial number..

My bumper got knocked off my ‘19
When someone backed into my car in a parking lot
I went through insurance and used a large body shop for the repair and that event was not on the carfax a year later when i traded it In

I do not believe for a minute that Carfax is foolproof, but in absence of a service book or actual receipts I am not certain what other options there are available to a buyer..

MaverickC43

Totally agree.
I’ve said this before, if it’s on carfax it happened, but not everything that happened will always be on carfax

As others mentioned, carfax is just to used as a reference but don't rely on it, out-of-pocket repairs don't show up there for example. Hopefully the damage in the front is just a minor issue like accidentally hitting the curb when parking that type of thing but I am surprised the dealership didn't get that fixed before listing it for sale, hopefully they aren't trying to hide something like others mentioned.

My advice with any used vehicle purchases are to perform a pre-purchase inspection (PPI), if your dealership refuses to let you take it to a MB dealership to perform that, that is another red flag. Request for VMI (vehicle master inquiry) if they are not willing to provide that might also be a red flag (exceptions is in your case the vehicle isn't at an MB dealership, you need to get that from a MB dealership after all), VMI lists all the work that was done at a MB dealership for that vehicle.

Good luck, otherwise that is a great colour and you will enjoy this car, I love mine when I bought it new and still do so it is highly likely you will enjoy the car, mine is also a 2017.
