The 1986 W124 had an issue where the floor pan cracks and separates where the rear subframe members mount to the car. Watch for that.

a w124 has lots of rubber parts under it, sitting for 8 years straight means that you are replacing all of them immediately after ownership.

I personally would not pay some high dollar like 3 grand for it - its about a less than 1K car at this point in time.
