2018 Mercedes-AMG C63 — 120k one-owner car versus 70k with thin history

LongMilesHauler140Community StarterMar 15, 20262018 Mercedes-AMG C63 SPennsylvania
2018 Mercedes-AMG C63 S, about 122,500 miles. The higher-mileage car has detailed records and consistent ownership; the lower-mileage example has sparse history. If both inspect well, how much weight do you put on maintenance history versus odometer? I am in Pennsylvania.

Title status is the whole conversation. Bill of sale, VIN, odometer, and names matching the title — I'd want all four on the 2018 Mercedes-AMG C63. I'd do that before spending real money. When does it actually happen? PPI guy I use is booked until next week, so I'm waiting.

Update from me: I finally have sale price, fees, and trade on separate lines for the 2018 Mercedes-AMG C63. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

Private-party deals fail on paperwork, not vibes. A rushed deposit before you can inspect the 2018 Mercedes-AMG C63 is enough reason to walk. I'd do that before spending real money. Have you gotten a second quote in writing? I've seen both outcomes, which is why I'd test instead of assume. Doc fee is the line I'm watching.
