Service records?
All service was done in house by the owners
They did nothing, just drove it

Is that green anitfreeze I see?
Antifreeze that is in the car is labeled by the dealer as a usable replacement.
I don't know what to say, this answer should cover me.

What "big" items have been fixed or replaced?
Nothing of any "big'ness" has ever been replaced, the car runs like a top, so there is not reason.
Everything is 17 year old original MB, I don't want to fix anything.

Since "nothing" has really been replaced, would that mean I'd be doing it all? I think $5k may be a little too much. Torn seat, stained carpets, crack in dash, no records, but supposed low miles.

Yes this is what a "money pit" looks like. The odo is off, if their were service records you could figure out the mileage. Car could have 120k, 220k, 420k no body knows and I wouldn't trust the seller to tell you. The seller has used this car up and now wants to get rid of it and get something else. I would pass unless you could get it for $1k.
