The worst affliction for any old car, but especially a unibody mercedes is rust. So look everywhere, but check the rockers and wheel wells and trunk especially. Mechanically things can be fixed, rust is very often the death knell for these so have it examined closely for signs of past rust repairs. The price is not unreasonable if the car is rust free and drives reasonably well.
