Purchasing 2010 C350 CDI

Hi Everyone,
My beloved C200K W204 recently kicked the bucket and being less than impressed with the new W205s, I was hoping to get a W204.
Have never owned a Mercedes V6 before.

This one is a 2010 C350 CDI with relatively low mileage (around 78500kms).

Is there anything that I should look out for in terms of potential pitfalls etc? Should I even bother with a V6 and just go with a V4 like 95% of the rest of the population?

Thanks in advance!

The states are different than UK of course but at least on this side of the pond the C250 which is a V4 has had a MUCH worse history than the V6. I have a 2013 C350 Coupe in the mid 80,000 Mi's and it has been bullet proof. The engine they use in it is one of the best straight 6 engines MB has put out. I've heard nothing but problems with the W204 4 cylinder engines.

Hi Thanks for that, is the v6 petrol also equally reliable?
Cheers,
