Post Specific questions before buying 2000 CLK430 cabrio

2000 CLK430 (AMG badged) W208
103K+ miles
black/black, fully loaded, looks flawless, drove well and everything worked. Ad with pics below.

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/...html for 10.8K

1. Ran carfax (attached). 5 owners. Is this a warning sign? Last two owners were father in law - son in law.
2. Am planning to request my favorite MB garage, Carrera motors, to inspect and advise me.
3. What else should I be doing that is specific for this car?

About me -
I have lurked these forums for a while in read only mode.
I owned a 1999 SLK230 AMG R170 5 speed manual for 22 K miles and was craving more power and space for rear car seat.

As long as a full inspection is done, you should be set. Congratulations on the purchase!
