The first thing to check is the maintenance records for this 1995 E320. There should be a Maintenance Booklet inside a black leather pouch that comes with all MB automobiles. See if all the scheduled maintenance items were performed ... if done at a MB dealer they will be stamped. If the car drives fine and you're seriouslyl interested in purchasing it arrange to have a PPI (pre-purchase inspection) done at a local MB dealer or at a local independent shop that has MB-trained techs who "know" MB automobiles. A PPI may cost you $100, but you'll have a professional evaluation of all systems and know if any major, expensive repairs are needed. As the saying goes "there is nothing more expensive than a cheap MB" ... that is one that sells far below market value and needs thousands of dollars in repairs because it was neglected. The PPI should also reveal if this car has had any paint or body work done as a result of a significant collision.
