[ranzrs]

hi guys going to look at c36 amg today

things to check when buying?

apart from rust!

gearbox, make sure its smooth. thats the main problem with these. ask if atf fluid has been changed. brakes and suspension can be expensive from merc. check for oil leaks at crank. sure someone will give you more info

thanks mate, i can see by the pic you've got 1, whats are they like? ive got a m3 at the mo but always wanted a c36 amg, just wondering how they compare, my m3 is a e36 3.2 evo version

think your m3 will be a wee bit faster plus yours will be manual. i prefer manual myself but the auto boxs are smooth and nice to drive. glad i bought mine loads of fun in it. but make sure its been looked after. parts are quiet expensive if you go to merc. what miles is on it?

 

[ranzrs]

yes its a manuel, which 1? well my m3 has done 56,000 and the amg which will hopefully be mine has done 160,000 miles full mercedes service history and is completely rust free and never been painted
