2005 C240 4Matic opinions

Hi folks. I found a reasonably nice 2005 C240 4Matic for sale with 55,000 miles. Anything I should be concerned about? I had an '02 C240 that besides a bad crank shaft position sensor and an instrument cluster failure, was actually a pretty good car. Sold it 2016 with 140K miles on it. I miss it and am wondering about the 2005 models. Thanks.

05 has much better rust proofing. Go for it. 4matic front end parts are more expensive that's about it.

I have one and like it. Very reliable if not very fast.

Check the transfer case by making tight turns in both directions. Mine made a little noise at 130k miles but a fluid change fixed it.
