Couple of comments...
Older cars are "cool" if they're nice and presentable, the W124 wagon is a great car especially the '95. Lastly continue to fix it IF, IF, IF and only IF you enjoy or don't mind doing the repairs.

Keep in mind that at 237K the transmission is getting close to giving some headaches such as leaks or losing reverse.
