the car has 72k miles on it and the dealer has a CARFAX that shows nothing is wrong with the car however the last maintense was performed back in 2004. The dealers asking price is 98.What should i ask the dealer to perform for me before buying this car since i know BENZ eat you up with maintence. i know nothing about BENZ but i really want one i love the way they handle and perform but i am a little worried about the maintence.

From a used car dealer, and by approx. 100,000 miles. (This happened to someone I know.)
The Carfax showed the odometer had 87,000 miles more 17 mos. ago than it currently has, and the other records were all consistent with that. He also found out the dealer lied about something else. He is going to be talking to a lawyer about this.
@ Guy: I had a new engine installed in my own car a couple years ago. You’re right about that.

Or do you see any red flags? I’m not great at reading these reports. Vehicle is a 2006 Hummer H3 with approx. 13k on it. Thanks for any help

What is the Auto Auction in the report? Is it saying that the owner want to sell it through auto auction?

And since Dec. 2007, the mileage grows only less than 100 miles. Say parking for 2 years, will the car be wracked?

I am looking to buy a used car but when I test drove it I saw the check engine light was on and the speedometer was broken. Other than that, the car runs well. My concern is that the odometer might have been tampered with. Is there a connection between the speedometer and odometer? Is it a good idea for me to purchase the car?
