I just got my first "modern" Mercedes that I intended to actually try to make a reliable driving car, a 94 c280. If the car you are considering is a HFM motronic efi 94-97 car and it's got any codes for goofy things, first suggestion is replace the O2 sensors, plug wires and spark plugs. Not 100% sure but the m104 requires non resistor plugs not some fancy unobtainium modern plug. They're so easy to get to and cheap there's no reason to be worried about putting a 80,000 mi spark plug in it. That being said, No way id trusts it to drive across country as trouble free as a w123 or any mechanical diesel. I'd throw some tools a water pump and maybe a couple belts for good luck and drive aw123 anywhere.
