Make sure it has been maintained and make sure it has records.
Common problem is a external oil leak on the headgasket. My mom has a 97 E320 and so far it has been a good car. The most important thing is to make sure it does not have any signs of abuse and it has been cared for.

sounds ok to me.
It took me nearly nine months of research/negotiating to settle on mine ['98 wagon]. After all of that research, I think I am qualified to say (1) if the price is unusually low - something is wrong with the car that the seller is not disclosing, which I think says a lot in general about the quality of these cars; and (2) you really do get what you pay for. Under all circumstances, pay an indep. guy to put it up on the lifts and check under her skirt. |

Paul8181, go to kbb.com and enter the options and condition of the car to see the Kelley Blue Book value. By all means get an indy with extensive MB experience to evaluate the condition of the car's mechanical systems and whether there are any signs of collision damage/repair. Ask the owner for all service records. If the car was dealer serviced ask the owner for a service history printout from the dealer.
