Three big faults that shoud be checked to see if they have been taken care of :
! - Engine wire harness - bad insulation, big $$$ job
2- A/C evaporator- leaks, Have to pull dash to replace - big $$$

3- Head gasket - oil leak at right-rear, again $$$

These are all the biggies for 124 chassis, E320 cars.
They all had these probs and most have been addressed by now, but check cuz it is not "Will, but When " on these items

Otherwise , these are great vehicles and the end of the 124 chassis ... a good chassis.
