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!!!
