Uh Uh...just go for it. If you like this car, get it! It will be cheap as he**. Save at least 4-5K a year for repairs because they will be astronomical, potentially. I LOVED my 2008 and my 2012. Great cars. If you love it, don't think about it too much, get a pre purchase inspection and if it passes muster, do it. You'll never look back, until 2-3 years from now when you'll want a newer one.

Good luck. LOVED MINE!!!!

Thanks everyone! So I did pull the trigger after a PPI at the selling MB dealer and independent shop. Passed with flying colors, the previous owner just spent $$$ replacing brakes.

Thanks! So I am loving it! I had the wheels completely refinished, new tires, changed the spark plugs, and rear end gear oil. Next, I plan to tackle serving the transmission.

OP let me know if you're interested in trading your aluminum finish wheels for the same wheel in chrome as fitted to my S-65.

I've got a set off my S65 if you're interested in buying, don't need any in trade though.
