It was a one owner car with 130k on it right now. Is there anything I should watch out for or look out for? It has the m112 engine I believe and I've heard mixed things about this car and particular engine. Any help would be great!

Yes, you should.

I see you have a w203 I had a 02 c240 and then a 02 cl500. The cl was a great car when the abc system worked and the reed valves didn't let water in through the hvac system and flooded 2 Sam units and a wiring harness lol. even though there was a class action lawsuit filed against mercedes the dealership told me to go kick rocks basically. However the 02 c240 was a overall fine car. Hoping the c320 will be okay as well. I'm just obsessed with mercedes.

I have a 13 year old C240 with 270000kms on the clock. The 320 is just a larger engined version of the 2.6 liter 240. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone as long as it has a good service history. The 112 engine is virtually bullet-proof if it has been properly maintained and serviced.
The only problems I have had have been minor and not really expensive, but considering the age and mileage of the car, not unexpected.
Just stay away from the 2006-7 V6 and V8 models.

As per Provo,,320 is the same as 240 except longer stroke for more capacity and torque,very nice performance. Just all the same issues ie transmission/valeo radiator to be avoided.
Check the transmission changes all gears very smoothly,and get the fluid changed and pilot bushing changed asap if not already done.
