2010 with only 8k miles?? Better check the service records. Have you requested the CarFax yet? It appears to be in great condition, but I'm worried it was someone's garage queen and wasn't driven enough. That or the few miles were hard miles.
Edit: Just looked at the CarFax report...no one's driven it in 3 months and there have been barely any miles put on in 9 months. And before that, it looks like someone drove it 3k miles in one month. This is just bizarre to me, but at least there haven't been any accidents reported.

Would any serious damage be done from the car sitting for so long?
Like you said the car seems to be in great condition from the pics, the front plate looks to be drilled in which is something I don't like to see haha

2010 with 8k miles for 49k.
Well, assuming its a 2010 and the in service date was probably somewhere in 2009. And with first quarter of 2013 gone, I wouldn't be surprised if the car is "almost" out of MB warranty.
Other than that, it looks to be a clean example.

Thre wouldn't be any damage from the car sitting, all my cars except my Raptor and my ML get stored from Nov-March every winter.

An MB extended warranty is out of the picture but there are other companies you can purchase an extened thorugh. Just do your homework, some companies are better than others. if you are dead set on an MB warratny you need to go with an MB dealer and look for MB CPO or a non CPO and purchase an MB extended though the MB dealer

Bro, you obviously do not know what it is like to live in a cold weather climate, my non daily drivers get parked for up to 5 months during the winter months. I do not think a car sitting over the winter is a bad sign. I would rather buy a car that is garage stored in the winter than one that gets driven through all the snow, rains and salt.

wait. someone clarify something please. Why do you have to be the original owner in order to extend the OEM MB Warranty? I thought you just needed to purchase the extension prior to expiration.
#15
To extend the original MB warranty - you either have to be the original owner or the original owner buys it for you before selling the car and transfers the warranty to you. Obviously, for the later scenario to be applicable, you'll have to find an original owner selling his car just within the realms of the OEM MB warranty and willing to buy MB extended warranty (and tack on the price to the price of the car)
The only other way to get MB warranty is to buy a CPO car and then extend the warranty before the 5yr / 100k mark.

Thanks. I've read conflicting things about this issue. It would be helpful if someone who actually sold MB extended warranties would chime in. It defies logic to me. I see no reason why the warranty shouldn't be extended as long as we can produce service records and purchase the warranty prior to expiration. But I guess not everything in the world is logical.
Each time I called multiple dealers trying to confirm the same concept of not being offered a plan to buy and OE MB extended warranty. The results were always the same.

NEVER trust a Carfax. NEVER. It's just a marketing tool for naive buyers (like myself). Lesson learned.
Get a PPI and don't be cheap if you're considering buying ANY car.
