Thinking about getting a c350

So wanting to know if im going to be making a good buy... I had a 06 c230 that was great other than tire eating problems and check engine light always on.

Looking to get a 09 c350 with 34k miles.

Is there anything I should be aware of that you guys have come across as troublesome? This leads me to my next point...ive searched reliability already. seems like everyone hasnt had a major issue not like the bmw hpfp.
But i was offered the same warranty plan I have on all my cars and this one is just a little bit more being a benz. for 5yr/80k warranty is 3600 or 5yr/100k for 4700. Do you think its worth it?

Thanks guys

Seems like the $3600 to take you to 114k miles seems a better deal than going to 134k miles for more than 30% extra, since both go for 5 years. How likely are you to keep the C350 for 134k miles or more than 5 years?

No it will only take it to 80k 0r 100k not on top of the miles it currently has. Im more worried about the miles, because i probably will keep it up until 100k

In that case, for EXTENSION (46k miles vs 66k miles), the cost per mile covered is less on the 5/100k mile warranty and is the better buy especially if you expect to drive the car that much.
