1998 E 320 Wagon-Daily Driver

Greetings, I'm new to the forum. I'm considering buying a '98 E 320 touring (wagon), 4 matic with 158 K miles, and I'd like to use it as a daily driver. The car is currently owned by friends who I've told for many years "don't sell the car without asking me first". I'm pretty sure the car has been maintained well, always garaged. My friends spend the summer in Minnesota so I will have access for as long as i need when they return.



I found an older post regarding using a high mile car daily which was very helpful. I'm not unfamiliar with German cars, I own a '04 BMW M3 which I routinely maintain. I know the A/C on the car is not working, seems a common problem for this car.


Please let me know what I should look for when inspecting the car and also how difficult is it to change out the A/C compressor if needed.


I noted that diagnostic software is not as readily available as with BMW. The INPA software is routinely available at no cost and standard OBD II scanners will work in many cases.


Lastly, if I'm correct the model is W210 and the engine is a M104?


Thanks in advance,



G.H.
