That's probably a W205.

That is not a W204 but a w205. This is what you usually get when you buy a certified car:

1. If the car has good wear on the tires and brakes/ rotors they will replace it.
2. They will perform the required scheduled service if needed.
3. They will do a 150 (0r whatever) inspection on the car and replace the heck of parts if they find something not at spec.

I say yes it is good to have PLUS when it is certified you can buy the extended limited warranty without paying for the inspection fee if you bought a non-certified and wants to get a ELW on the car.

BTW....that car is the first year of the W205 and a lot of gremlins to watch out for. Better do your reading on the W205 forum first to know what exactly to watch out for. I will get a ELW if I were you.
