I am considering buying a 2001 base 5 speed with 31K miles from a Mercedes dealer. Should I be nervous? Alternately, I am looking at a 2000 base with 40K miles for about $1100 less. The condition is comparable... solid interior and exterior with a few light scrapes here and there.

I've heard there can be issues if the cars are not driven enough... Any advice?
