About to purchase 2007 E550 - VMI Info/Advice please!

I am about to purchase a 2007 E550 4Matic with about 30K miles and would appreciate some advice... Would anyone here be kind enough to pull the VMI for me if I give the VIN number?

The vehicle will be delivered by a MB dealer with the following options, including the MB extended warranty for 100K miles and 7 years. Is $31K a good purchase price? The car is not in my local state and I’ll have to drive about 4 hours to pick up the car. Anything I should watch for when purchasing a car out of state as I had not done so before. Should I try to ask for any navigation or other software updates on the car? How about any recalls or “bulletins?”

Thanks so much for any advice and I’ve enclosed the car’s configuration below:

E550W4
775 Iridium Silver
824 Cashmere Leather
Ipod Kit & Bluetooth Interface
P02 P02 Premium II Package: DVD Navigation, $ $4,,740
889 : KEYLESS-GO

615 : Bi-Xenon Active Light System
600 : Headlamp Washing System
540 : Power Rear-Window Sunshade
536 : SIRIUS Satellite Radio
530 : DVD COMAND Navigation
401 : Heated and Active Ventilated Front Seats
389 : Hands-Free Communication System
167 167 Standard Non-Sport Pkg.
955 : Elegance Edition
265 : Delete Elegance Badging

R02 : All Season Tires
289 Wood / Leather Steering Wheel $ $,540
396 Voice Control $ $,500

VMI data is accessible from the dealer's system only -- did the dealer you're buying from refuse to provide it?
