There is a reason he is selling it for 2k and if it was a creampuff at 400k miles, I am sure he would have said so. The electrical problems are also something to take into consideration, it is very rare for a w124 to have these kind of electrical problems unless they were invloved in some sort of accident.

its a 103 engine, yes they sometimes warp if overheated but the common trouble is corrosion and bad headgaskets.
It is also common, not rare, for wiring harness failures to occur. Its all well documented, its the insulation that MB started using to satisfy some green something or another. Trouble is it cracks and shorts as a function of heat, how much and how long determines when it will crack and short out.
