THanks a lot for your precious advice guys, will keep you posted

I own a 2002 C32 and love the car. I have had it for around 6 months now and have done typical things like light bulbs oil change. I also replaced the tweeters and the rear tail light bulb housings they were giving me a faulty bulb out light on the dash. The previous owner put an aftermarket heat exchanger and pump as well as smaller pulley and tune. The car is really fun to drive and extremely fast. I also put new bilstein struts and shocks and h&r springs. Crusing on the highway at 70-75 I get 22.3 mpg on mostly flat roads. Good luck op!

Hello everyone! I have bad and good news
Let's start with the bad news:
I went to see the grey C32 https://www.leboncoin.fr/voitures/973248398.htm?ca=12_s
I was quite disappointed for a few reasons
-First of all, a harsh noise coming from the supercharger when accelerating hard, which to me sounded like a worn pulley
-A lot of vibration when braking, which to me felt like front rotors were warped
-A lot engine was moving a lot when I opened the hood with the car running, and car was vibrating at high speed and strong acceleration, I thing it was an engine mount issue
-Cherry on top, the air conditioning didn't work (eventhough the owner had told me it did)

This got me quite angry, especially since I did almost 500 miles to go see that c32.
I ended up calling off the deal...

Now to the good news
I found another grey c32, in perfect condition and with every single option I knew existed (including thesunroof, the memory electric seats, electric rearview mirrors and electronically adjustable steering wheel).
It had 2 previous owners. Maintained since 2002 in the same mercedes benz dealership with very precise maintenance history. Both owners were over 60 years old and the car seems like it was never treated badly.

And the cherry on top is a 3 month engine transmission and rear axle warranty
Anyway, test drove it yesterday, love at first sight, I negotiated the price a bit, made them change the rear tires which were quite worn, then made a deposit.
I'll be getting it on tuesday I think.

Your advice was extremely helpful, I'll post pictures of the beast once I get it

And here it is

I see it has parking sensors too. Very nice condition, and well cared for. How many miles/km?

91nb

Yes, parking sensors front and back, which is very nice
It also has the integrated phone and navigation/bose system with cd changer
190 000 km which is about 120 000 miles but it belonged to the same person from 2004 to 2016, and was never really pushed, it was in a way better condition than a 80 000 mile c32 I saw

I'm at 125K miles, and yours looks to be in better shape than mine.
I've got all options except the parking sensors, including ski bag and split rear seats.
Good find, and keep us posted on your journey with the AMG. Enjoy!
