Closing on a 2004 CLK55 Conv

I'm in the process of closing on an extremely low miles 2004 AMG cabriolet. Is there anything I should be looking at in light of a car 7 years old with less than 13k miles?

I'm very excited but this would be my first MB purchase and the vehicle is more than halfway across the country. If I can pick up an extended warranty, could anyone recommend one? Where should I shop that?

Thanks!

Great find. A dealer inspection should give you some peace of mind. It would be great if the maintenance records have been kept. Based on time, the brake fluid should have been flushed 3 times, the coolant twice, the oil 7 times, fuel filter and air filters once. The tires may have been replaced too.
