Sounds like a great buy assuming everything works and mileage is not too high.

Despite all that has been said, our 98 E320 is still in great shape and has had very few problems since we bought it in 2001. This despite being in Canada where cars do rust if not looked after.

Like many cars here, our E320 has had rust treatment since we bought it. And if we see the start of any rust, we touch it up or have it repaired. Most of known problems (Spring perches, under door seals, trunk lid, engine cross brace) were dealt with under warranty or good will. Since then, we have only had rust on one front wheel well and around sun roof. Both properly repaired at reasonable cost. Rust problems no worse than other cars. In fact, our 85 300D was much worse.

Only real problem that I could not fix myself, is the A/C evaporator. Considered pulling dash apart, but decided we don't need A/C for this car.
