hey guys.. was thinking of buying a 1995 e320, has just over 100,000 miles and is in excellant condition inside and out, of course there is a problem.. the car was running hot on the owner, so he parked it about 5 months ago.. he said the car was running great until this happened all of a sudden... he said the gauge was showing hot so he parked it and had it towed home , where it has sat

the good news is , he is wanting about 1,000.00 bucks for the car and is negotiable, just basically wants it off his property.. what should i be looking for? sounds like a water pump to me? i dont have much experiance with benz's , but have worked on a variety of other cars... was thinking this might be a good father son project, since the cash outlay will be low .. give me a run down guys on what i should be looking for on this model and year, and thoughts ...when i personally go and look at the car, i have until wensday to gather some info
