Here is the updated. The car's insurance was for $16,000 and the damage is from right front corner. Should I walk away with a damage like that?

I would ....
Did you inspect the car? Front bumper alignment with fender? Wheel alignment when drive testing? Anything suspect in the engine bay?
If you can find the shop who did the repair?
Now the selling price should be pretty attractive. If professionally repaired and if on a budget why not but what worries me is the lien. How come the dealer has some type of loan on the car? Small or starting business? I wouldn't buy a car from a dealer that hasn't the title in hand !

I didnt have time to test drive this car yet but the exterior and engine bay looks new. I was shopping at some small used car dealership. They purchased the car through an auction.

Check the service history at the dealer.


Drive it, inspect the front end on a hoist and panel alignment, hood fender etc.

Check subframe and strut area.

16k on a Benz repair isn't much, that head light alone will run over. 2k, bumper, fender paint labor.

If you're getting a good price and everything checks out you should be fine.

Right front corner sounds like a fail drift to me xD I think ill walk away from this I'm going to check out a 08 c63 with p30 from a MB dealership instead.

Check Edmonton too.

Hey guys,

New to the site but not benz's and other performance vehicles. I'm shopping for a 2012 or later C63 coupe when my Porsche sells.

I'm jumping on this thread because I'm having a hard time determining the P30 and P31 options and LSD. The cars I'm shopping have the red calipers and alcantera wheel but when I run the vin they are all showing P30 option. The vin decoder I'm using is Russian (why are they all like that?) so there could be just a software issue. The LSD option isn't showing up on anything including the cars that are supposed to have it based on window sticker.

Thanks in advance for any input and hope your weekend(s) are going great.

PS, If anyone is shopping 911 Turbo's right now, mine is a beast......http://www.carsauto.com/2002-porsche...upe-c-926.htm?

I'm offloading the 911 and my daily (GLK) for one car I enjoy. I hate the GLK and love the Porsche. I drive the GLK all week and the 911 once a week. Your correct, the C63 is not "replacing" the 911; not even close.
