Looking at a GLK...what do I look for?

hey guys... I am usually over in the W204 section.. we have a C250 coupe.

Now I am looking at a 2010 GLK for a second Benz. What should I look for? what can cause problems? what maintenance should I be looking for? It has 113k.
Its a salvage title, so that is a concern.

Can anyone run a Carfax?

any insight on these would be great. Thanks guys

This question has been asked many times and if you use the search you will find them.

You might be able to get the seller to give/pay for the carfax. Alternatively you can always pay for it.

no worries if you don’t want to be helpful. Other people are a bunch nicer.

Plus search no work so well on a iPhone on LTE. I am just saying you don’t know why i am asking.

I wouldn’t buy it without a warranty, to many things to go wrong . Get a warranty then don’t worry.

I'm always happy to help people that try to help themselves and get stuck. If you do some research and come back with some specific questions you will get better responses. Dropping a vin number and asking for someone else to pay for your carfax report seems, well, cheap and lazy. I'm not saying that was your intention, but that is how it comes across. Good luck.

dude, you just started a thread on this exact same topic 3 weeks ago, wtf?!
need a car fax? buy one. if you are too cheap, or pressed, to buy a car fax report, then buying a GLK definitely is not for you, esp one with 100,000 miles on it. Get a toyota.
