Considering a 2008 C300 w 56k miles. The dealer says they can CPO it for 1500, which I didn't know they could do. With the CPO and the unlimited mileage for 12 months that is very appealing as I drive 150 miles a day.
What concerns should I have for this model/year of car?

I agree with above. Go buy a Honda or Toyota if youre driving that much. If you want something a little more comfortable make it an Acura or Lexus.
GET THE CPO! Always get the CPO on a used vehicle. You never know what the previous owner did to it. The first year I had my C300 I had to have the fuel pump AND the catalytic converters replaced. The previous owner had it on a lease so they were probably putting regular gas in it for its first 30K miles.
Im glad I had the CPO. It would have cost me a small fortune even if I did the work myself. You can also extend the CPO another year at the end. I chose not to because I do my own vehicle work and Im crossing my fingers that the bugs from the previous owner have been worked through.

Always try to avoid the first year of a new redesign. The last year of a generation is usually the best but by then the design is usually tired looking and dated and people want the new one.
Pick a timeless generation and it will always look good through the years. Like the 4th generation Honda Accord. Not like any generation PT Cruiser
