This is the "Good" 4Matic. MB wasn't even sure if they wanted to use the 4Matic name on this system but finally decided to. I remember the service bulletin that told the dealers they can order the 4Matic badges for the early ones that were delivered without badges on the trunk.
The rattle would worry me. That good be alot of things both minor or major. The "catalytic converter" story, well just doesn't make sense to me, I guess one would have to hear it.
Things to check on a 98, harmonic balancer, A/C problems, leaking differential front and rear, front cv boots.
maintenance history including spark plugs, a/c filters, brake and coolant flush, stuff like that.
