I bought one new and would look for a newer model if you are going to spend the money.

Sensotronic brakes were terrirble, it had a bad suspension part that made it pull to the right . There was a TSB and bolt kit offered to fix that. Transmission ECU failed. The car was at the shop monthly. I loved how it drove but it was pretty problematic.

I think that car was about the height of the problems MB was experiencing in recent years and they did a lot of backpedaling with that car.
