I plan on doing a pre-purchae inspection on the car, specially the wheels. Wish they would include an electrical inspection as well.
thank you in advance

The designo color and leather are nice options. Price is good.

Very nice looking car for the money! If the Carfax is clean, I'd certainly go for it. I'm not crazy about the blacked out wheels, but others on this forum are. You might possibly trade them out?

Looks like it spent its entire life in NY and NJ so not technically a GA car. My '11 spent its whole life in NY before it came down here, the only corrosion I have really noticed is the the typical aluminum on the engine components - parking brake is kinda sticky too and does not want to release when the temps dip down to the 30's or below. Undercarriage looks really good on mine - it served as a black car for its entire life before I got it so mine so I imagine it had very regular exterior and interior cleanings. I still have the TLC badge in the drivers door jam so I could go start an illegitimate black car service in NYC if I wanted - LOL.
If you decide to take a look and want a pre-purchase check out Revolution Motorsports or Rocco's Garage, if you want to take to a dealer try MB of Buckhead (ask for Lisa Read - amazing service adviser) or RBM Motors which are the better dealerships in Atlanta. Austrian Motors in West Midtown used to be good but their service has gone to the dumps in the past few years.

I love the colors. With low-profile wheels those cars go via new rims very fast, so that might be the reason for the black color. I would definitely check it as replacing set of rims will add to the price.
The car doesn't have some options that I bought in my latest W212.
Looks like this one has xenon lights, not LED, what is OK, but I love folding seats and don't see them here.
It all comes to personal preferences.
Good luck on the purchase.

Those look like the factory rims. Maybe they were just plasti dipped and they can be restored.
You can't trust the dealer to put in accurate info. All the 2014's+ were LED, no more Bixenon and hence no more headlamp washers. The lighting package was a different set of headlights, those had active curve illumination and auto high beams. Only the 2010-2013 had the bixenons.

One of the partners for this dealership group lives in my neighborhood and so when we were shopping for a car we went to their dealership to look at a BMW 535. The dealership itself is pretty shady and the salesman did not even know what xdrive was for a BMW (he told my parents xdrive is a dual clutch....). The BMW looked a lot worse in person which the photos didnt make out and after the test drive I guess some of the plastic panels underneath lost some screws (or tape) and so they were hanging. It was a great deal but not worth it. You could have found a good deal though. Good luck
