W124 300e 1993

Venturing into the gasser side

I know these cars have issues with wiring harnesses besides the head gasket a on the m104 engine. Anything else I should worry about? I’m picking the car up for $400. It’s very clean besides a broken windshield.

A/C issues with the evaporator behind the dash. Do Search for much info


I've got a '95 wagon that I've had no issues with the A/C but I know it can be, perhaps more likely on the earlier ones.


$400 is a sweet deal if it's otherwise a solid, rust-free car!


Good luck

It has minimal rust (NJ car) around the taillights. Ac actually works as far as the owner said. AC issues I’m well aware. I’ve lived with it on previous w124s and pulled two w210 dashboards. Fun. So hoping that works.

Reverse has a 5 second delay. Bought it for $400 so I figure I throw the windshield in it and I’ll hopefully break even on it or lose a $100.
