Advice on buying used Benz

I have found an '85 300 TD for what I think is a reasonable amount, but knowing little about a Benz, I am asking for advice, knowledge, insight, etc. Below is a list of questions that come to mind. PLEASE throw any advice that comes to mind. Kelly/NADA do not list the car due to age.

1) What should I look for when test driving besides the usual road manners?

2) Are parts reasonably priced and available? If so, where?

3) Are Benz's high maintenance? This particular car has 198,045 on the odometer - is it entering into any age/mileage issues?

4) Were there any quality/engineering issues associated with this era of Benz's?

I realize that everyone is shooting in the dark as you have no first hand info on this particular Benz. I just need some advice from those of you who own or have owned one. I thank you for your time.
