2012 CLS550 4matic
New Member here looking for advice on 2012 CLS550 4matic purchase

Anything in particular I should look for or avoid?
I have found a car that was recently traded in. I have most service records. It states auxiliary battery malfunction on dash with check engine light on. Back up camera is a blank screen. One owner MB dealer serviced

However was traded in at a GM dealership.
It has not been checked out (I literally found it like an hour after it was traded in)
Manager says it will be checked out thoroughly and any issues fixed.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Will the dealership offer any warranty on the vehicle?

Dealer will offer warranty if once they have it checked out. I saw it just as it got traded in.

inspect cam magnets and cam position sensors front of engine for any signs of oil leakage. I had to replace 3 of the 4. Two sets on each bank of the V
