The price is low, and the paint is supposedly all original.

Unfortunately, it is a dealer that has the car, although he has all the maintenance stamps from the MBZ dealership in the book. He said that it had a new radiator, which is what I’m concerned about – if these 606 engines overheat (for instance if the radiator neck snaps) do the heads tend to crack like on the 603 engines? Or are the 606’s comparable to the good ol’ beastly 617’s in this regard?

Hopefully things like the suspension bushings, joints, rear links, etc., are already done. I don’t know about the rest of the weak areas such as transmission or AC evaporator (if that is still an issue in the 1995 models?) I don’t know if things like the differential or axles become an issue at this mileage either. I know that I’ll be chasing after some things, but I just don’t want to buy into any major headaches such as an engine overhaul, or even an injection pump rebuild.

Hopefully, someone else with a high mileage 606 engine will see this and lend some input… (wishful thinking)
