Try and get one that had COMAND Online (it will likely be NTG4.5). And, if buying from a dealer, try and get them to update the firmware and update the maps (latest version is v19.0).
Also... from around mid-2013, MB started equipping cars that have COMAND with the KOM Module, which is essentially a GSM device with built-in Vodafone simcard. This allows the Navigation on COMAND to use the TomTom Live Traffic service. Earlier cars can only use the free TMC service, which isn't that great. If this feature is of interest, then make sure that the car has the KOM Module fitted - look for the option 'B54 MBCONNECT - REAL-TIME TRAFFIC DATA' in the datacard.
However, the TomTom Live Traffic service isn't free, i.e. there's an annual subscription fee to pay, so if you have no intention of paying for live traffic data, or if you are not planning on using the car's navigation anyway (e.g. you have your own satnav, or use your phone, or just don't use satnav at all), then you can ignore this post
