Help choose a 430
Waz up guys. I'm new to posting on MBWorld but have hovered undercover for a year or so now. 
I'm currently in the market for a black W208 clk430. I live in Kansas and it's highly unlikely I'll find one around here. My budget is at max 20K. I'm a bit hesitant to buy online as I have never in the past but I think this will most likely be what will happen.
I'd like to get the concensus on buying a used 00-02 430. Is there any options you guys cant live without? Is there much difference in the 00, 01, 02 models. Any help would be appreciated. I've browsed ebay and autotrader so far and have a couple im interested in. Is a 02 with 95k going to be problematic? Do they hold up well? It looks to be well maintained and had one highway owner.
Thanks for any comments guys.

Well, I did some more surfing and found a couple more. An 02 fully loaded with 67,000 for $20,300.
heres a link:

I was also wondering if the factory sent these out with heated seats and Xenon lights as a combo because I dont see one without the other.

Ahhh, thanks I guess their idea of extra options really arent extra.
Thanks for the link, I'll have to look it over more carefully. In your opinion is their anything specific i should know before purchasing. I mean other than obvious problems an inspector could find.
