We're looking at a 300TE too.....we might be able to snag it for $1100 or $1200.....it runs great....all mechanicals are good except the power windows need repair....and the rear hatch won't open. Some cosmetic issues.....but man does it run! Starts right up and FLIES down the road....clean exhaust. W124's ride amazingly. Has 229k on it but you'd never know it by the way it drives.
