Buying a Misdiagnosed C63 AMG for 85% Off

Navigating the used car market can be a pretty crazy experience. For those who are well versed in this market, getting a deal is definitely out there. However, for those who don’t really have that much experience, it can be easy to get burnt on the buying or selling side of things. Most people find this market pretty crazy and a headache to deal with. However, some find it to be quite exciting. We just so happen to be those weirdos they get a kick out of fighting our way through the used car market. Stories like this make the excitement even more real. The deals are out there, my friends!

In this VINWiki video, we catch up with a story that spells out quite the interesting ride. When Alex Palmeri of Legit Street Cars was searching for the ideal machine, it would be one that needed work. Normally, people searching for these mechanic specials are looking to get a deal. I’m sure that a good deal was part of the equation but it seems like Alex was more interested in buying a car to make YouTube videos of. Therefore, he would come across the perfect Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG.

Now, the way that this story unfolds, the original owner thought that the machine needed some major work. However, when diagnosing the machine, eventually, Alex would come to the conclusion that this story wasn’t that true. Instead, he would be able to easily fix it for about $100. This is actually a lot more common than one might think. However, the inverse could be true as well. It’s probably more common that someone thinks a problem is small and ends up being massive.

By following along with the video below, we hear about the highs and lows in the situation. I guess that it turns out that Alex ended up getting quite the steal with this machine that only needed some minimal work.
