Looking to buy a CLK 430....

Hi everyone - Im looking to buy a CLK 430, Im having trouble finding many how to's i just found this forum does have a couple repair ones..., or anything on the buying topic, and performance upgrade topics, I see staged upgrades on other sites - but nothing on the forums on tips and tricks of this car... I've seen a couple around my neighboorhood for sale... what's the ussual cost of maitenance for cars with roughly 80-100k miles? What should I expect to go bad? What things should I look for when buying one?
