What can I expect from a 1994 C280?
There is one for sale 45 minutes from me, and I am looking for a car for my sister.
The car seems clean, but has 186K miles on the clock, original motor/trans.
The headgasket was never done, but the waterpump, fan clutch, engine harness, etc, were all changed at one point or another.
A/C works but has never needed any attention - can I expect condenser rot and evaporator leaks?
What else can I expect to fail next?
thanks!

The seller is asking 2600, willing to take 2200. I was thinking more like 2000.
If the car was for me, I wouldn't be intimidated by the head gasket, etc, as I can fix it myself, but it's for my sister on the opposite side of the country...
