Thumbs down E420 400E Intermittent Hard Start, should I worry?

A week ago, my starter died on a used car dealer's lot after checking out a potential replacement...

had it towed and replaced the starter...

now it starts much quicker and sounds much better (the starter that is) - I guess it had been bad for a while but I never realized...

Anyway,

now...
the lock sticks a little bit (put some graphite stuff in it, seems better) but whatever... the doors still open with the other two lock tumblers (passenger and trunk)

and today, I parked, shut it off and went to get a burrito but the place was closed so I came back and tried to start it...

it took quite a bit longer than usual and it was about to catch but I decided to try again and it did fire up...

and it hasn't done it again...

should I worry? I don't wanna have to waste money on a tow again...
