That was the first car for our son when he was 17...a 92. He scoffed at it at first because it was a used car with a lot of miles. Then he started getting lots of compliments from his classmates! He then went to a 99 E300, then a 98 E300....but now drives a CR-V!

As long as it doesn't have a lot of deferred maintenance, go for it at the right price. Just prepare yourself to spend money on maintenance in the future.

One thing to note. In 93 there was a production run where there were timing chain issues. For details see http://www.w124performance.com/docs/mb/OM60X/OM60x_Timing_Chain_TSB.pdf.
