Pay attention to this post.

Take your car to dealer to verify that all "campaigns" have been performed.

Use detailing clay on the windows, works great. Just make sure you keep the glass damp.

Find of a lifetime
 
Starting a with W124 TDT at just 36k means you have just got a lifetime car there if you take care of it.

Rubber and seals the biggest problem, age related, agree with that

You can get the VMI Vehicle Master Inquiry and get dealer to translate, I think that will show all work, warranty and not, even roadside assistance, performed by the dealer.

Further, dial 1-800-for Mercedes, will get you a copy of window sticker for it

And write to DB Historical Archives in Stuttgart w/ copy of title, request factory build sheet, "in English":o

You really found something to crow about, especially for that price. Would run 3-4 times that on ebay for the mileage. Diesel MB's are HOT now.

You could "flip" this one for a tidy sum

How did you come across it? There are a lot of w123s and w124s in my neighborhood, and I'm waiting for one of my neighbors to come home so I can talk to him about it.

Did you just "spot" the would-be Seller and ask him if he wanted to sell? Was it all just timing? I'm curious because I'm looking for something similar, and in my neighborhood I should be able to come across them with some regularity.
