I'm looking at an '85 500SEL with 124k miles. What mechanical issues should I be concerned about? At this juncture in the life of the car what repairs are commonly needed? In general any advice? Seller is asking 5K, for a car in good shape is this a reasonable price?

I would have a mechanic check it out prior to purchase.

I appreciate all information!!
