Both pretty much look very good, 2 owner cars.
Please give me some input as I am not familiar with these models.

Hi -
The same old rules apply to a used car. Inspect, inspect and inspect. Most W210 forums have a 'Common Issues' thread which is worth reading. FYI, the 2003 wagon is a W210 but the sedan is a W211. There was a pretty big increase in the W210 with electronics. Some see it as features and some as headaches. I have read posts that the W211 was not as luxurious as the W210 but the W124 owners say the same about the W210.
If you plan on driving/owning it for a few years you probably won't recover the extra cost of the W211 in a resale.
Finally, if it were me I would probably select the one with the best evidence of care such as an accurate and complete written service record combined with a 'drives like a new car' experience.
Best of luck.
