Repair-It

Looks like it has bixenon but not AMG package. It'll ride better and have cheaper tires. The AMG wheels look less old man/lady-ish though.

It's kinda funny that I infrequently use the ones I have and I hate chasing water leaks on them, but for some reason I'm "concerned" about the lack of sunroof. It does seem like a not-great-optioned one. I have not messaged yet and the 4-hr drive each way feels like a hassle. If they were available I could go look at / buy it Friday...

What sunroof water leaks do you have?

The only so far confirmed leak I had was on Christine's '01 Jetta when the drain clogged. I was suspicious of my mom's Vibe (that I still haven't fixed), but that may be the roof line caulking. I was also suspicious of the Honda Odyssey, but that was later confirmed and fixed as the roof line caulking. The GLS550 still has an undetermined leak that could be sunroof or windshield.

Looks like the Vibe's are usually the roof seam and/or roof rack base caulking:

I think clogged sunroof drains are not a reason to skip the sunroof. But that's me. I have dealt with clogged drains on my STS. Nothing else has had a drain backup.

Related to sunroof drains, Mercedes require ~annual maintenance of the various cowl drains and this is often overlooked yet can cause water intrusion and electrical component damage. It is called out as an official maintenance requirement.

This one's a little closer. I wonder if the wheel color were aftermarket sprayed or wrapped.

I think I'm going to try to go look at it / test drive about 4:30 or 5 on Thursday if you're around.

I can't seem to get a good KBB or NADA dealer value after a couple 5 min attempts on websites. Used to be easier to get retail prices, now they just seem to shove you into used car listings... I feel like $11.9k is high, but I guess it compares well to the last comp I test drive at $10.6k /131k miles since it has 26k fewer miles.
