Smile CLK 550 Cab: What to look when buying

Hello all,
I'm very interested in buying a pre-luv'd clk550 cab with 52k on, black on black '07. It has 1 yr 100k warranty and I can add 2 extra yrs for 2k. Everything looks good on the car, drives very well (for a non-sport suspension coupe) with Nav (looks clumsy). New tires, well serviced. This will be a third car for wife (I'm a manual shift guy). We plan to keep the car for a while, five yrs at least. Anything I should be prepared for? expensive 60k service? certified warranty not covering something? extreme insurance rate?

I'm in Ohio, so may have to buy matching winter tires ~800 bucks. any other catches?

Appreciate all the help, and thank you in advance.

Just bought mine not too long ago. Service is pricey if you do it at the dealership, aside from the Atari graphics the NAV actually isn't that bad once you learn how to use it (tip: input the street number only), and I traded from an '08 IS350 and my insurance went up $10 every six months. If it's a third car I don't know if she should drive this one in winter weather, save you some money on the tires.

Your wife will love the car, mine does : )

You will be surprised, insurance is not that bad on these cars.
