My impression is that the W124 diesels are about equal to W123 diesels in reliability. GSXR has completely abandoned the W123s for W124s because he says that they are much more sophisticated vehicles. The prices look pretty standard, but not unbargainable (at least for my area). Out of curiosity, why are you asking someone to run a CarFax for you? CarFax sells CarFaxes individually or in "5-packs" at their website...
