Also make sure the dealership gives you, or purchase a minimum 30 day warranty, if not a 90 day. If you do purchase it, change the oil and air filters immediately. If that engine is burning oil, you should know within a month, if your having to add oil to it, as the 55 motor has been known to consume sometimes abnormal amounts of oil. GL! |
My C55 has 23000 miles and doesn't use any oil. I'd be less concerned about the motor than other items. Check the functioning of all the peripheral items, including the heated seats, rear sunshade, A/C auto temperature control, power windows, etc. It is these items that can cost a lot to repair.
