Well, not to burst your bubble of enthusiasm....I would avoid any used Mercedes, BMW or Jaguar as they are prone to issues that can be very expensive to repair. Unless you have deep pockets I would stay away.
I was able to pick up a 2003 MBZ 320 CLK with 10,000 miles on it. Always garaged with A/C in So. California and was meticulously maintained of $10,000. I had to replace a few gaskets and had all the oil and filters changed. No issues at all. My friend got a 2002 MBZ 320 with 60K miles on it for $3,500. Runs great and has no issues. So it depends on the car. Dealerships cost a ton of money to repair or maintain them, so if you buy it, find a good MBZ independent repair shop and save at lest 50% on repairs and maintenance.
This is a picture of my wife's car. Still no issues after 3 years and 10,000 miles. Looks and runs like a new car.
