Opinions Needed on This W124 300D

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1873634215

I already have a 275k mile 300SDL and it's been a great car, save for needing a new top end about 40k miles ago. I'm aware of the common problems/advantages of the OM603. But what I was more interested in is opinions of THIS particular car.

It appears to be priced fairly and has enough miles on it to avoid repairing some of the things that wear out between 150 and 200k.

One major drawback is not having any service records.

Should I buy this one, I really don't want to have to do another 603 top end. Considering mine was done at a dealer, it ended up costing about as much as the Buy-It-Now price is on this 124.
