I've had my 94 e320 Wagon from August 2002 and I've spent excessively amounts of money on it. But, I committed the major mistake of buying with my emotions (loved the light blue body with parchment interior), and not my brain as in "maintenance records".

Other than the traditional w124 / m104 "problems", here's a few thoughts...

1] Just because the car is in Florida, doesn't mean that's where it spent most of its life. It may be a "Noreaster" that a "Snowbird" brought to FL. So check for rust at the bottom edge of the rear windows by opening the storage compartments and slightly lifting the rubber seal along the bottom window edge. Checking the jack holes is another Noreaster check. Noreasters usually have ASR and Heated Seats [switches below ashtray].

2] All wagons have Self Leveling for the rear wheels. With motor off, sit in the rear, the rear end will drop a little because of your added weight. Turn on the motor, it should rise automatically. If not, Parts: 2 accumulators = $200, and / or Regulator = $300 and then there's the struts $1000. Plus labor. It uses the power steering pump to a reservoir that contain special hydraulic fluid.

3] There's no other currently produced wagon with this much cargo space. Last was the Ford Taurus / Mercury Sable. The 6-1/2 feet of cargo space is fabulous, when the seat backs go down. But if they haven't been used they are a test of ingenuity to release. The side of the seat bottom cushion has a black plastic trim with hand grip, pull up and towards front of car. [It pivots at leading edge]. There is a red handle at bottom. Pulling it up releases the catch and enables removing this cushion entirely. It must come straight up because of tight fit. If it doesn't function properly, someone may have bent it forcing it down when reinstalling. When you leave the seat cushion in place, the head rest shafts are placed in the top holes thereby securing them.A button at base of seat back releases headrest. With door open, the test => Pull top of seat back forward. [It pivots at bottom.] Test BOTH sides! If it doesn't release, check the pin with black plastic cap located in door jam, it should move in and out. It's a safety catch engaged when door is closed. Mine was used so little, I had to lay in cargo area, position heels of feet against top edge, pull back feet and do a kung fu kick to the seat edge to release it. {Women might consider wearing shorts when performing this release method.} Assuming the seat backs release, when they are folded flat, the holed brackets [now at the leading edge] will rest on two pins that are part of the seat cushion hinge. Make sure the pins aren't broken.

4] The tailgate has auto pull down and secure function. Sometimes the bolts loosen and it has to be readjusted. Just make sure it isn't bent.

5] It's prewired for a 6 CD changer. The MB method was to position the changer for all to see [and steal] in the cargo area alongside the right rear fender compartment. I replaced the First Aid kit with an Alpine CHM-S630 [tight fit] and bought an adapter from Crutchfield. The Becker Stereo head operates all the CD functions. The First Aid kit is in the spare tire.

6] Rear speakers are in the doors. Small and behind a cover that has plastic securing pins that break very easily. If you're into sound, there's those rear compartments that can house some monster speakers and space under the back seats for amps. Antenna can be replaced by all steel Hirschmann AUTA 2040, but the fender adapter has to be modified.

7] Roof rack might have the cross bars. Mine doesn't, but the design of the rack is sufficient to secure cargo.

8] Cargo cover sometimes gets stored in owners garage. Ask about it if it's not in the car.

9] Leather vs Tex. Ignorant FL dealers advertise Tex as leather because they assume all MBs had it. Many wagons didn't.

Get a well maintained one and you'll love it.
