I purchased a 92 500E with 96,000 miles. I needed some of the things that are known to go in this car - power steering pump and rear nitro cells. Other than an alternator, it has been trouble-free. However, at this age, the consumables start going. - I've replaced the trunk lock, and a bulb just went out behind thee dash. Fortunately, I was able to find a warranty, but i purchased the car out-of-state. CA has recently passed legislation making it very difficult to obtain a warranty over the internet; you are restricted primarily to what used car dealers have to offer. However, research it. For cars this expensive, with that amount of miles, I think it is imperative, unless the former owner has done all the things that you will have to replace at some point. See the archives here for wehat goes wrong.

I'm glad I bought my car, but I may not keep it past the warranty period.
