Wowsers, only 13k on an '07? That must be a total garage queen of a car. If cared for properly, it should be like new still.
Despite the low mileage, you should make sure its up to date on maintenance. There are certain things like brake fluid that need to be replaced on a time basis (every 2 years) instead of a mileage basis. Filters are the same. If they haven't been replaced, you should also look at changing out the cabin air filter and engine air filter.
Hopefully they changed the oil at least every year as well. Do you have service records for it?

Thanks for the welcome guys! Bill i don't have any of the service records, I purchased it from a local Mercedes Dealership it is CPO. Any information you could provide on how I can find out the history of the car would be great. Please excuse my noobness in this area.

Did you have a CarFax for the vehicle? It might show service history. Being a CPO, your dealer might have brought the car up to date. I'd just ask the service advisor at the dealer. He should be able to see any service that has been performed at any Benz dealer.

Out Of Control!!
Did you get an extended warranty? Alot of people do, even though the W203 got better with time. If you're planning mods in the future, keep conflicts with the warranty in mind.

Welcome carlos! I'm jealous that you found that car with such low miles! But just like everyone said, make sure the service is up to date and you pretty much have a brand new car!
Look forward to seeing some pics!

Thanks for all the advice guys. I hope to get some pics up soon. I've only had it for two days but it's such an awesome car! I came from the Honda community after getting my car stolen on Monday I decided to make the change to a grown up community.
