i used carfax and tons of fotos from the seller. i then had him take the car to a m/b dealer for a buyers inspection and i paid for it so the report was faxed to me. after that it was price negotiation. i believe thats all you can do with a used car local or far away. everything checked out so i jumped on it. with cash in hand i bought a 2002 slk32 with 36,000 miles 2 sets of wheels and 2 radios for $16,750!!!
just remember if you get a 32 buy stock in lemons. you will need mucho sour taste to get the smile off your face!!!!!!!
