This is like asking the fox to guard the chicken coup. Asking any seller to inspect and approve something he's selling is a waste of time. Do you really think they're going to report on all of the flaws?

Another reply to this thread indicated that for more $$$, you could get a car with NO problems. There is NO such thing as a used car with NO problems.

In closing, this car is on an MB dealership lot. Forget the blue book. Dealers are in business to make a living. You might get them to negotiate downwards; don't be surprised if they don't. This applies to auth. MB dealers and indy dealers. Some do; some don't. It all depends on what kind of $$$ they need to make to come out they way they want.
