pay no mind to the newb, the M272 V6 in the 06 and 07s are rock solid, you wont need an extended warentee, Also MB OEM warr is 4yrs 50K but its based on when the car was purchased, so If it was late 06 you could be out. Its a easy car to work on.

Glad I got my warranty on my 06. Thermostat went out last week and that covered it. The bill was for $400. Not sure how hard it would of been. (done it on other cars) but saved me some time I did not have.

1999 CLK320 (sold), 2007 C230 SS (gone), 2000 Grand Marquis, 2011 CR-Z, stay tuned...
EDIT: Is it just me, or do the tailpipes look odd in the second picture? It sticks out more than mine, and almost looks like the '05-'06 pipe.

Calm down a bit... The M272 is an amazing engine, and has virtually no problems. Being the last year of the w203, most of the problems were worked out. If you ask anyone on this forum, they will tell you that you do not need an extended warranty for and '06 or an '07.

And to mr "im an asswipe" if you where on here and read the 100s of threads that get posted asking if an 06 and 07 where dependable and if a warrantee was worth it, they all say no, YOU where the one telling him to get one and well basically every one on here will tell you thats a waste of money, where just trying to help some one save money, I didn't know this when I bought my car I have an extended warrantee and I haven't used it and prob wont (fingers crossed)
Most people who post on here are car enthusiast and simple DIY like the T stat, oil changes, and things that generally go wrong with this car know there usually less then the cost of the 100-500 dollar deductible a warrantee has.
Not to mention ive done motor swaps, tans swaps, and all sorts of things Im guessing from your 5 year old like response you haven't done, get some post under your belt here before touting off at other members

The 07 sport tailpipe is suppose to be double polished tips. Whether or not you buy warranty is soley up to you because I haven't had to spend one unscheduled dollar on my w203. Is the title clean man?

Title is clean and the exhaust says AMG on it.
Love the car so far, had to drive 60 miles each way to a job tonight and I am getting around 27 mpg at 80 mph. I do not regret getting this over a higher mileage C32.
The car is super clean, a few small scratches on the trunk but other than that is is mint. The inside looks like it was never sat in.
It is missing the owners manual, anywhere online I can download or look at one?

The reason the seats are in such good shape is because its MB Tex which doesnt really show wear at all.
The manuals are avail online, but I dont know the link, Im sure some one can link you.
Congrats! Get some better pics of the car up!

Ordered me a flat hood emblem and a set of clear side markers today. Going to get an HID kit for the low beams and fogs when I get paid next week.
