The engine and transmission in that unit are better than the 4 cyl turbos that MB is putting in a lot of cars today.

Good point. The key thing to look at is the convertible top. Pretty easy to repair/fix but I do not know what it would cost to hire someone to do it. Biggest issue with it will be cylinders that, over time, will start leaking. If you don't see the leak it will eventually become inoperative. My advise is that once one of the cylinders start leaking go ahead and replace them all.
