New guy looking to buy an E500. What to look for?

Hey guys I'm going to look at an 05 e500 this week, Just wondering what I should look for when I check this car out. The car gas 90k on it. I know alot of cars have things that go wrong at certain mileage. I just don't know much about Mercedes. i am a current corvette owner. I know those cars very well as well as BMW but I know the Benz is nothing like either. So if there are things that i should look closely for please let me know if you would. thanks

Welcome to MBWorld. Asides from the standard maintenance history, make sure the TSBs have been performed. Check out this thread https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...ems-fixes.html

Don't be scared by it though, just members documenting what they've encountered, but not all have those issues.

Good luck with your hunt and let us know if we can help you with any lighting upgrades on her once you pick up, or even on your vette
