[s-cars] car review needed on 2002 C32 AMG

[Brian Armstead]

The 1997 C32 AMG was the first official collaboration between German
tuner AMG and Benz.  Current models are quite a sweet package, but
expect high repair bills as some parts are specific to that car (mostly
engine though).  Upgrades to the brakes and suspension keep the
horsepower in line.

Here in the Washington, D.C. area, I know of a mint 1997 with 79k going
for $18,500, so he can use this as a point of reference.  The guy who
owns the car has a pair of them (both 97s) and is a BMW mechanic! I
asked him why he does not own a Bimmer, and he said it's been his
experience that Benzos are more durable.

Definitely get the extended warranty, it will pay for itself with one
repair bill.
