I don't think the environmental wire insulation problem had yet arisen. The basic mechanics are pretty much the same as the older 124s. More electronics, of course, passenger airbag loses the glove box so make sure the jockey box in the console is present. The 602 turbo engine is very much like the 603, in fact, my FSM engine manual is for both 602/603. The 602, as a later design, had the head casting and gasket problems sorted so there is less risk (but never zero risk) in overheating an engine with an alloy head. As usual, a complete set of service records is a good thing. Provenance, man, provenance!
