2001 BMW 330 convertible
New guy switching from BMW....Questions
I've been dreaming about an E55 for a long time and have decided to sell my BMW convertible and buy an E55 (2005). I used to have some fairly fast muscle cars and I really miss the power. Can someone help me figure out how to buy a used car without buying someone's problem? I have heard Carfax may not be an accurate way to judge a car. Will a MB dealer be able to tell me if the car has been a buy back or in an accident? How can you tell if a car has been a flood victim?

If you can befriend a Tech or SA at a Mercedes dealer bring the VIN, and see if you can get them to give you a VMI - Vehical Master Inquiry on the complete Service History on the car... Normaly they won't unless you own the car... It's considered Priviledged Information.

Oh, by the way; if the V8Kompressor, E55, or AMG badging seems to be on wrong (spaced wrong, not level, uneven) it may be a red flag, too!
