Default looking to buy 03 E500

Hey everyone, I was hoping to get some advice. I found a really clean 03 E500 with no nav. It is a pretty good deal but the car has 105,000 miles on it.

What are the major problems with these cars? Anything I should look out for?

Anything I should be looking for before I buy it?

I appreciate any help!

Thats the first year of that body style and they had problems. transmssion and radiator issues, lots of audio problems, air suspension issues. squeaks and rattles from the suspension, goes through tires like crazy. The 500 engine is nice. But depends on service history alot! is it a E500? or a E320 badged as a 500. get it checked out at a Benz dealership you trust before you buy it.
My 2 cents
