fad thanks for your reply,

here are some answers to the questions you asked. The car is completely stock throughout. I did run a carfax and the car is clean. I have the MB Net list from the dealer and the list is long over 60 items have been replaced, mostly electrical and sensors. The owner did maintain the car well and has done major service at 15K intervals with oil changes every 5k. Some of these items on the 200 point check are areas which arent major problems but do exist.....let me know your what you think...this feedback is making my decision much easier
