I think that the price is high for a car with 194K on it. The problem with the 350SDL and the S350 Turbodiesel was the engine and there were 2 problems (depending on the year). One year had problems with cylinder head cracks causing overheating and others with bent piston rods. My dad has one that had to have the engine replaced at 45,000 (S350 Turbodiesel W140 body style) and has yet to have another problem with it (at 125,000). If it truly has the new engine I would say that it's probably okay, but I wouldn't pay over $9500 for one with those kind of miles.
