Do you have the service records? If it were mine, I'd want to know the following:
1) Last fluid change (MB coolant, trans & filter, oil and filter, ps fluid and filter, differential.
2) Last time motor mounts were changed, hopefully with OEM mounts
3) Check all the rubber weep drains in the trunk (under the carpets) and in the engine bay.
4) Inspect all the rubber bushings, ball joints, and moving parts in the front and rear suspensions.

knowing my inlaw, that benz is undermentained. last i heard he just had the alt replaced, but i thin it was an independent garage that does not specalized in german cars do all the work. so i plan on doing catch up service work to it. does sounds like the front bushing needs work, cause i can hear it squeek around while driving.
