Mercedes S350TD a good car?

Looking at a used 1994 S350TD. Engine was replaced with factory replacement in 1999 due to timing chain issue. I assume it has the upgraded connecting rods. Seems to be in good shape overall. Full size, luxury sedan for sure with many electronics. Aside from the engine issues, do you think this is a good car or a model that you would avoid?

I believe that year range had issues with disintegrating engine harnesses...?
It may have been replaced with the engine?
Just my 2¢...
