Three words: records,records,records. If it has been maintained, I wouldn't hesitate. You should be aware though, these cars are expensive to maintain. That's a warning to you for two reasons: first to prepare your wallet and make you aware the previous owner may have skipped doing repairs or service.

These deliver an incredible ride, just know what you are getting into. My 300SE is a '90 so it's a different bodystyle. I highly recommend a 126 like mine, they are amazing. Mine has 274K miles on it and drives like a new car.

Good luck!
