Pretty much everything has been said regarding the possible issues with the W124. I will add that due to age, ones going up for sale will probably be due to the seller getting tired of fixing all of the age-related stuff. Even a well-kept all-books and recepits type of car will have some age-related wear items that need attention.

Regardless of condition, I would set aside a couple of grand for the first year to take care of those items.
