Mercedes c180 old skool sport help

[souffwest]

I am about to buy an old mercedes Benz, it is a c180 sport with 107k. I just did a 'text check' and it is NOT stolen or recovered, but it has had two colour changes. Only had 5 owners from new aswell. I need your help

Two colour changes? I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot bargepole

I'm old if a C180 is classed as 'old skool'

Dead right. Run, don't walk.

And a C180 "Sport"? That's about as well-named as the Suzuki X90 "off-roader". What are you thinking, man?

One of the colour changes will have been it rusting to brown. The other will have been its respray.

HTH.

Ok ok very funny. There is no sign of a colour change in the paperwork. It was only the text checker. The only rust is a bit of bubbling under one arch. Look, I am swapping it for a 02 plate zr with a car c and 110k to it's name!
