Good/Bad/Ugly of buying a MB Used

I am looking for my next car. Going between a few brand new cars (lease) or financing an off lease car (GLS 450 or 550).

Looking to see if any one has any tips of buying a MB used that they can share. Any flags to look for? Anything you may have wished to know first?

I am specifically looking at a 2017 GLS 450 $32,990 26,437miles

Is there a mileage cap to buying used? Certified?

Thank you!

    I've been paged.

    I don't know a lot about these cars technically, but by 17 that style GLS had been in production for several years, so I think most potential bugs had been worked out. I haven't heard horror stories about ones that new, and even older ones seem to age OK. I don't know about mileage caps, but they are young enough where I would prefer a CPO just for peace of mind. MBWorld and BenzWorld have make-specific forums who may know more about technical details, and I also find facebook model-specific groups to be handy.
