1. Welcome to the forum Tony! I help lots of Forum members with their warranty needs and questions. You're looking at $3,285 for a 5 year / up to 100k mile (125k available) manufactures extension by Freedom Warranty, covered for $275 in labor an hour, repairs accepted at any Mercedes-Benz dealer or licensed independent in North America. Contact me at (602) 909-9216 or tgibson@highline-autos to see an example contract and answer further questions. 0% financing available.

3. Not necessarily the model year, but Mercedes Benz are notorious for their air shocks going out, I had mine on my S-Class go out after 60k miles, it is not a matter of if or when, but as long as you stick to your regular maintenance, repairs are left to odds and ends, but even those can get expensive out of warranty

You can add Android Auto by getting a software update at the dealer. There aren't really any certain issues you get with this engine. I looked at the CarFax and I didn't see any transmission service. I would get that done asap since you're over 80,000km/5 years.
