No longer car shopping...
Since you asked...

Selling 3K short of warranty indicates the car may have had prior problems that the current owner is trying to get out of. Front end made to look like '03 model makes me think it's been wrecked. Why would ANYBODY rebuild the motor DURING warrranty? While I'm not speaking for the whole forum but that car is one I would RUN away from. You may be able to stem some of the warning flags with a response to these questions....

You have some very valid points. I dont believe the car was in a wreck knowledge from working in a body shop of my dads for 5 years led me to this deduction. But The top end of the motor being rebuilt concerns me. Is the warranty a 4/50k on these cars?
I dont know what tech rate is at a mercedes benz dealership but I certainly wouldnt want it to be in the shop all the time. The car runs very well and perhaps the rebuild could be considered an asset. I am going to pick it up and take it to a benz dealership and have it check out.

The warranty is 4/50 on new Benzes. There is no way that the top end of the motor would have ever needed to be rebuilt with those miles! Did you run a carfax on the VIN? I would do so before anything as that would at least verify the history that has been reported on the vehicle. Good luck...
