Hey man I'm Kowalski from Sweden bying a 2002 c32 amg is risky if the electronic gremlins are not fixed on that car and they seems to had a lot of problems with this kind of stupid stuff, also check the entire body for rustproblems, also be good to know that the kompressor had a few glitches meaning without warranty?= it ain't cheap paying from your own pocket. buy a later model year

I would not buy any 2001, 2002 or 2003 w203 car. Just too many people who have had too many problems. Take a look at the various w203 forums on the net to see what I mean. You might get lucky and find a good one with all of the problems worked out but you won't know until after you have bought it and used it for a while. Just not worth the risk in my opinion.
