Even more so, in this case, because I have heard these are NOT without reliability, build quality and mechanical and electrical problems, so that makes the particular you example you select all the MORE important with these.
I am assuming these cars ARE NOT "certified pre-owned" Mercedes Benz cars for sale on a Mercedes Benz dealer's lot, which makes it even MORE important, because if things go wrong you won't have a factory warranty to fall back on.
Paying for repairs on these yourself can get VERY expensive in a big hurry.

Now 36K miles. Has extended warranty which runs through 12/2010.
Buying from 2nd owner, who bought it certified pre-owned with 15K miles in 10/05.
Current owner says was only in shop for front brakes (at 25K).
I'm real torn. It's more car than we need and we will be retiring my SLC....
But after 2 hip replacements, I'm tired of having to half roll out of my car to exit. Not very cool.
