Considering 1990 300E - thoughts?

Hi all,
I own a 1982 Benz 240D sedan which I only use in the summer (rust-free). I'm looking for an all-around car, for year-round driving, that will hold up well to road salt up here. This 1990 300E has come up for sale recently:

This Benz was imported from Virginia in July of this year, great overall condition thruout, power sunroof, Leather seats & carpet like new, 111,000 miles (176,000 km) New Winter tires & new summer tires, new front ball joints, new muffler, new fuel distribution valve, New hand brake shoes & cable, New headlight switch assembly, New emergency flasher switch, New brake fluid resevoir seals & rad hose, New winter windshield wiper,Transmission fluid, gasket & filter were changed recently. Car was safetied in July. Power windows, front seats, power headrests, Power telescopic steering wheel,Alpine AM/FM CD player. A/C is working, Cruise control is not. 212 HP InLine 6 cylinder engine, very quiet & solid on the highway. Synthetic oil has been used in this car since new.

Sounds good but I haven't seen it yet. Asking about $3500 firm. I haven't owned this series before (am more familiar with W123) so would appreciate some impressions on relative reliability and maintainability, and whether the specimen described above sounds like a good deal to consider. Thanks!
