Check the engine mounts, HVAC controls and MAF. I had issues with those on my 02 W208 CLK430. Other than that, should be fine

You may want to look at the differential side seals. As long as it's in the air, the flex discs too. The power seat motors go bad occasionally. If the seats move in all directions, they're OK.

Don't forget the crank position sensor and brake light switch. These are a common failure but are cheap and easy to fix yourself.

My CLK 430 had the MAF, fan regulator and convertible top latch go bad.
