08 C300 with 20k, bought CPO last summer with 12k. Luxury model with multimedia and Harmon Kardon....nothing else. Sort of a bare-bones example.

Warranty will be out this fall with probably less than 30k, at which time the car will be 5 years old based on in-service of 9/07. What sort of problems have you seen with aging 204s like mine?

I'm trying to decide if a) I should purchase an extended CPO warranty (integrated conductor plate repairs come to mind), or at least be proactive in addressing seemingly minor concerns before that time.

Car kind of reminds me of my 97 in terms of its overall quality and daily reliability, but that was also a car that had electronic trans gremlins and went through all it's bushings around 70k and again around 170k.
