Why the "quick decision?" Is the seller not giving you time to have the car checked out by a good MB mechanic? With a 10-11 year old car, you'll want to see the service records. What's the mileage? How are you at inspecting suspension systems, a/c systems, checking for rust in door panels, trunk wells, and electrical systems? The 2.6L doesn't have any particular issues, but since the 6 cylinder is shoehorned into the engine bay, you'll want to be sure the cooling system is functioning well and given the slightly heavier front end, check the motor mounts.

thanks for the advice but the car sold already-actually he was going to give me time just, all i had was a full day to get it to a mech etc. oh well the search continues.
