Looking for Advice - Purch 2018 C300 Cab

Looking at buying a 2018 C300 Cabriolet. Has 29,000 miles on it

What would you be checking out other than the obvious:

Service records
Body exam
Tire wear

Any advice welcome.

Buy a 6 cylinder if you can find one in your price range. The four cylinder has been known to have fatal problems at less than 100k miles.

2024 CLE 450 Cabriolet
Did you buy yet? I have a 2018 C300 cab, bought Aug 2021. check aux battery health, I had to get mine replaced under warranty. Confirm all components of cabriolet work including wires, there is a common issue where left side won’t go all the way down, I had replaced under warranty.

Check for wheel damage, all lights and electronics work. Also bring your phone and a cable to confirm Apple CarPlay/Android auto as not all models have this option.

That’s off the top of my head.
