Looking into the SLK55

So... looking at a wide range of vehicles, and among them is the SLK55. Or rather, a particular, high mileage/low price one. Maybe too low, and that is why I would like input...

What should I look for in the SLK55, 2006 model year with 122k miles? I will obviously get a PPI, but any additional input would be helpful!

I recently brought a 07 SLK55 with 80000 miles so far loving it. Just double check the mirror and the door lock switch. The door modules are known to go bad. Good luck!

My 2006 has been pretty reliable, so I can't think of anything that a PPI wouldn't pick up. I would probably check the functioning of the roof since that is one of the more complicated bits. Otherwise, it's a pretty simple car with a standard suspension and big NA V8...just what I wanted for a weekend car.

Check the seat heaters. Three individual heating pads on the bottom (2 bolsters & seat) and 1 on the back. The wires can break easily.
