Miles are good (same as mine actually)...but run the VIN on carfax and at your dealer to see what work has been done on it and if ALL the recalls were done (I even think there is a thread on recalls you can print out from here...do a search).
Is the car local to you that you can put eyes on it?
I haven't looked lately at Blue Book value on it lately so you might want to start @ KBB.com to see relative pricing.
A couple of other things...
Is it modded at all?
Does he have all the service paperwork?
Check exhaust color at startup and idle:
-white smoke at start up is normal
-continuous white smoke might be internal coolant leak from a cracked head or blown gasket
-black smoke probably overly rich fuel situation
-blue smoke is usually oil consumption problem
Price out an aftermarket extended warranty...
I'd pay some extra $ for an independent MB mechanic to do a pre sale inspection.
Good luck.
