2004 cl500 "New to Me" All opinions welcome

Hello All,

I have joined the Benz world, I am picking up a very nice 2004 cl500 60K Miles
Black on Black with the AMG sport package. I struggled with the decision to buy this car. I bought from a One owner, the Car is spotless no winters garage kept,

After making a bunch of phone calls The general opinion I got from dealers etc. was a very nice Car but very Very Expensive to fix. The car does have a engine & tranny warranty still good to 2016.

Is there any thing I should look for or be concerned about. Even though all looks good now my luck is not good owning anything with an engine is not.
Any opinion on the Value of this car. The sticker on the car was 104k, I was shocked at that number

The engine and transmission are bulletproof on these cars

Its the abc hydraulic suspension and the numerous electronic systems that are the expensive and problem prone areas

I know he showed me a receipt that he had one side rear hydraulic suspension fixed that was leaking, about $1500 Bill, Do you know if any one offers a extended warranty that cover all of the electronics, computers etc.
