Buying CLK63

Hello guys, I'm looking a at 2007 CLK 63 and I'm wondering if I should go for it. It is for sale at a dealer. The car is 2 owner, 81,000km, no accidents, no claims, in like new condition. Starts up beautifully and the engine is very quiet up front, exhaust nice and loud. The car was MB dealer maintained for its whole life. They don't have all of the service history.

Hearing about the m156 engine issues, (cams, and head bolts) should I go for this car? This is the only thing holding me back. Or is the car old enough that these issues would already have surfaced and been taken care of by the dealer?

It was a CPO car back when the previous owner bought it in 2011.

Someone else bought this car last Saturday.

I'm going to look at 2005 CLK 55 Coupe (6/4pot brakes, quad exhaust) today.
It is probably a more reasonable buy for me at this point and still a nice upgrade from the old C55.

Get the 63 and an aftermarket warranty.
