Buying a '97 S420

All, I seem to have a bad case of W140 fever and I find myself about ready to sell my Crossfire and buy a '97 S420 with 85,000 miles on the clock. I have checked all the obvious stuff, like close assist, sunroof, heater/ac, etc. The car is pretty clean, with good paint, good leather, and no dinged metal.

The only problems I can see are that it has a floppy rear view mirror (easily fixed), and the brake pedal sticks a little bit at the top of its travel.

Any insight on the sticky brake? Is there anything specific to the S420 or the M119 V8 that I should watch out for. I'd appreciate any insight. Thanks
