Welcome!

1] Maintenance is really going to depend on how you drive the car, and how good a set of tires and shoes you want on it.

2] "Stuck Tops" are pretty uncommon. Most common is a noisy top, but 99% of it can be fixed. In general, if it's a 2005 with clean history, you should be good.

3] MB is 5 years / 50k miles from "in service" date. You can get an extended warranty. Things usually don't go wrong on these cars, but when they do, they can be expensive. It's a 70k car with a 40k engine it - that should help keep things in perspective!
