Good Luck! I'm currently watching a few myself.
The crappiest of the bunch has an asking price of (you guessed it), $4500! How's the condition of the rest of the car? I'm seeing $2k and less for basket cases, upwards of $7 - $9K for well-kept examples.

Check the car out to the best of your ability, or if you have no ability, then take someone who knows a lot. Go over the car, take your best guess as to what's wrong with it. Then you need to know how AMG it is - body kit only? wheels/tires too? suspension? engine mods?
The deal is - you're buying risk. A lot of it or a little of it depending on what the problem is. And for that risk, you should get a greatly discounted price. Stock SEC with body kit - $3500. SEC with kit and suspension - $5500 SEC with kit, susp, engine mods - $7000 After he's done balking, you'll have your starting point for the negotiations. Then drag it home, hope it's a cheap fix, and POST SOME PICS!!!

Sounds neat, but rust is a deal-killer to me.
