1997 E 300 diesel questions?

Looking at a 300E diesel with 92k miles. Does this 6 cylinder have a cat converter and a trap oxidizer?
Is the car riddled with electrical problems like the 300e I just sold? OVP,ETA, wiring harness etc.

Any satisfied owners of such a car?

Are this cars turbo models or NA.

It has an oxidation catalyst. The 1997 is a non-turbo - 1998 & 1999 models are turbocharged. No, it doesn't have the same electrical gremlins as a W124, although the W210 can have some issues of its own. And yes, there are a number of satisfied W210 diesel owners here.

Do a search and you will find a lot of info on the 210 chassis. I was very satisfied with my '97 though they do have their issues just like any other car.
