What to look for when buying 2003 sl500 w/wo amg

My dad is going to trade in his cl 600 for a sl500 with amg or not (preferably with amg), what are the key things i should check out, what are the commen failures and with a 23,000 budget what condidtion should be avaiable? He has a friend that is a dealer so he can get it at dealer price. this would help alot, he is excited and only want him to get the right one, he has been in mercedes his whole life the s mostly but has had the pre 03.

Buy an 04 and an extended warranty. These models cost a lot of money to keep them running. My 04 vario top motor quit half way up. That was $2,400.00.
