My opinion after having owned a '91 300TE 4matic is that the car is excellent, the 4matic system however is only a decent AWD system and far short in performance of a permanently-engaged AWD system like the quattro et al.
It also was fairly trouble-free for the first 60,000 miles, after that the transfer case and hydraulics started to cost expensive maintenance. I drove it until ~119,000miles IIRC.
I would run (fast) away from a used one.
