Check the harmonic balancer and spring perches, also make sure the 722.6 has been serviced at least once (none of this "filled for life" stuff). Otherwise that seems like a pretty good deal. These are pretty bulletproof models.

I got mine at 70k, straight drive, now has 105k. I replaced the crank position sensor as a precaution.
In your area, checking the spring perch is a good idea.
The harmonic balance should have been replaced by now, but check it also.
Make sure Mobil 1 oil has been used. MB was slow changing to this in the first two years of this engine and had some troubles.
I plan this to be my "forever" car, comfortable and economical.

Thanks for the advice but it looks like the car already sold. Or at least the post was deleted by it's author.
Must've been a decent buy.

That price may have been the reason - it was pretty cheap...
