E550 cab purchase advice
I've lurked on this forum for a while and decided to finally shoot the gun on a CPO e class. I found a great deal on a 2015 E550 cabriolet with premium package and intelligent drive package from a local Mercedes dealer. It has 60k km on it but that shouldn't be too much of a concern considering I'll still have 3 years warranty.
My only concern is that the deal seems too good to be true. Are there any reliability issues I should know about with the 2015 e550? Anything I should look for specifically before I buy it?

2014 E550 Cab
There are frequent reports of warped rotors on 2014s; may have bled into 2015s.
Also, if your wheels are the standard 5-spoke (shown in link), then double check to make sure that none of the wheels have been bent. Seriously. The wheel combination + c207 suspension + heavy weight of the 8-cylinder engine is a recipe for above-average incident numbers for wheel issues. I'd imagine even more prevalent in a cold-weather climate such as yours.

Lastly, I would say that the deal you're considering is good, but not really too good to be true. Mileage is high for a CPO and considering that, it's not much cheaper than it would be in California, which is pretty much the most expensive convertible market in NA.
