Looking at buying '96 300E; 'advice?

Good morning, all! An apparently good deal (~$3K) for a basically sound 114kmi MB came my way; I am heading out in a few hours to look at her. Besides the littany of electrical problems apparently common to this platform - the C/O already has the electric window issues - are there other quirks to be wary of?

I've owned maintained most nameplates from Fiats to Bimmers, but this will be my first time with a Benz. I plan to do the usual pre-purchase once-over, but any "heads-up" to look for beforehand would be most appreciated. This will be for #1 son, to have some sheet metal wrapped around him for commuter college. Thanks in advance everyone. *Paul*

P.S. If now working, is there a way to get the radio code displayed immediately, lest I soon have to yank the battery to perform service? I'd like not to have to yank the stereo, or visit an MB expert in the first week...!
