Should I Buy This 2020 GLE 450?

2020 GLE 450 4Matic
$19k, 80k miles, STUNNING metallic green, fake tan leather but comfy seats.
VIN:4JGFB5KB8LA292653
Clean Carfax, except --
* 1093 mi – noise, replaced mirror
* 1628 mi – replaced mirror
* 21246 mi – replaced mirror
* 31204 mi – replaced blower motor
* 35725 mi – rear end collision, minor damage, replaced windshield
* 46521 mi – replaced brake master cylinder
* 56449 mi – repaired body electrical wiring
Seems to me mostly minor issues, other than the collision.
WHAT'S wrong with the MIRROR???

Test drive went great. THOUGHTS AND QUESTIONS –
* Has automatic self-parking which is nice!
* No Burmester audio (how does the stock audio sound??)
* No Distronic Plus, lane-change assist or stop-and-go
* No Acoustic Comfort package (but it’s very quiet!)
* Got extended warranty quote $14k!!! Worth it??? What new issues should I expect at 80k+ miles? I drive less than 10k miles per year.
* $19k good price?

You'll probably get better answers in the forum that deals the newer (V167) vehicles. This forum is for the previous generation (W166) vehicles
