If it's the one in Preston, a claimed 57,000 miles in 9 years (presumably verifiable under the Toyota AU programme) suggests the smell might be wee. I expect it would fade; not like, say, sour milk or creosote.
Classic spec is a matter of taste, really. There aren't many about, and you're not missing out on the height of cossetage because MB leather is all about durability, not luxury. I hate the orange wood - makes the weird grey-green stuff in my Avantgarde look like a good design choice - but prefer the black instruments to the off-white dials in mine. Unheated seats, though - bummer, although in the circumstances it may be as well to be without electric wires in there. Put mine on tonight; it's nearly May, remember.
Get a few hundred off, a second year's AU warranty, then plan to keep it five years and it could prove a very sound buy. Oh yes, some decent tyres, too; an E deserves Michelin or Continental.
