,,,And I have a few questions please. It's a 97 with just over a 100k and it has a few issues. It will be an as is purchase and just want to be sure I ain't getting in over my head. They will let me have it for 12,500 seems to be very clean, non-smoker no dings at all.

#1 The driver message center is telling me to check the engine, also have the little check engine light lit. It starts good, drives good.

#2 One of the rear windows won't roll down, probably an easy enough fix, right?

#3 Should I bother with doing a self diagnostic on the a/c? It would tell me quite a bit wouldn't it?

Any other things that are peculiar to the E class that I should look out for? Hooror stories mainly like bad wiring harnesses and leaking evaporators mainly. I am for the most part a 126 chassis kinda guy (126nut) and have no experience with this body. I do know the engine a bit, I have worked on a S500 with the M119 engine? and it is quite similar to the 4.2, correct?
