Then I reiterate : it's a good buy ! .
Moreso because you live in The Rust Belt so not easy to find .
Just remember : Mercedes are _NOT_ Toylettas ! if you drive it and forget to change the oil & filter @ 3,000 miles because it's January and just to freaking cold , it'll be a money pit junker in a couple years....
Every little thing has to be looked after or it'll die .

I am in Wisconsin and I want to know if 5500.00 is a fair price and can I use it as a daily driver? What should I be looking at on this car? Thank for the help!!
