I am having reservations (cold feet) because I will be spending that much money and won't have any warranty on this vehicle. Especially when my wife wants a Honda Oddysey, which I can get brand new for the price.
I can't seem to determine if this is a high maintenance vehicle or not and I am referring to non-routine maintenance. I read a few posts where people were using the Lemon law for their R class MB.
Extended warranty, quoted by my MB dealer, would be anywhere from 2400 to 3400 for 1 to 3 years of coverage with $200 deductible.
I have always performed routine maintenance on my vehicles (oil, brake, filters changes) is this car easy to work on?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

That's too many miles for me on a car that new to buy. However, you should be able to get that car for at least $2,500 less - because of the somewhat excessive miles. Which would pay for your warranty. Either that, or shop the Net until you find one with a lot fewer miles for about the same money - that's still under the 50K factory warranty.
Just checked an off-lease, very reliable retailer near me - that has numerous gasser R350s with half the miles for the same money as the
77K mile one you're looking at.
