need help on buying either an 06/07 R500 with AMG sport package...
I am looking to buy either an R500 or R350 with an AMG sport package, navigation, and pano, in the $25k-30k price range.
I came across this posting on autotrader? Is it worth the risk of not buying a CPO car? I dont really trus Carfax. Other than having the car inspected at an MB dealer, is there a way for you to check the service history of this car?

i LOVE the white, but black interior would be awesome...grey as 2nd choice. that beige can get dirty very quickly, esp w/ kids. AMG 19" wheels look nice - but i don't see the airmatics button on dash for "comfort/sport" - is that excluded w/ AMG?
no CPO is ok as long as you factor it in price to get extended. recent MB's really do need it, and be sure to be bumper/bumper and not the itemized ones that exclude expensive parts/repairs.
also, w/ certain dealers, CPOs can mean A LOT. my MB dealer tuned up, replaced some warranty items, AND replaced front/rear brakes and rotors. used car guys won't do brakes, and you could be out $2k+ soon w/ car at 38k miles and might need it.
good luck.
