Hey, im looking to buy an MB wagon.. and i came across an e300te 4 matic..

Could i get some basic info on them? such as common problems? ive been hearing head gasket failure is pretty common.. how hard is replacement?

Also, how reliable is the 4 matic drivetrain, and are there any know problems with it?

The car im looking at has 160 thousand miles on it.. what should i check?

Also, the specs would be great.. HP, TQ, etc..

And how well do they handle? I was thinking i would just throw some 17's with low profile tires on it and leave it at that. Can i get some old AMG rims or something for cheap?

Thanks. Sorry for the barrage of Q's.
