Thinking about purchasing a C55

Like the title states, I am thinking about purchasing a 2005 C55. I will keep my 2006 C230 and most likley get rid of my 2001 Bullitt Mustang.

I am going to look at the car this weekend and was wondering if anyone could run the VIN and give me the list of options the car has.

WDBRF76J45F573890

I know if does not have navigation, but I am not sure what else it has or does not have. If anyone can help it would appreciated.

Thanks
Pete

Yes, what could go wrong with a Benz?

I'd keep the Bullitt, honestly.
