What to ask/look for on '95 SL320

I'm about to look at a '95 SL320 w/ 149,000 miles.

The seller has replaced the two front hydraulic top actuators about a year ago, and says there may be a leak around the rear somewhere. He replaced the A/C evaporator around the same time and says the compressor was cycling when he used it last. Otherwise no maintenance issues and everything else works.

Other than asking about the wiring harness and general maintenance issues are there specific things to look for on the 95 SL320? I thought I read something about the timing chain, but I may be confusing generations of the SL.

My understanding for the 95 is:

5 speed auto
Electronic speedo

The ad says "every available option". What were the major options on the '95: stability control and ???

or

From the description I've got some concerns about the top. Is the window glass or plastic? Is glass an option?

Listed for $4500. Reasonable?

No stability control on a 95, only traction control - ETS standard, ASR optional. You're much better off with ETS. It's priced as if it were a piece of crap and of course could be.
