Well its a Euro model. You can tell from the trunk which has the aperture for the European license plates. The duck tail is incongruous. It was intended for the first generation body kit not the second. Can't see much of the exhaust but it looks like the genuine thing, the shape is at least correct. The interior looks stock and somewhat worn.
If you like the look of it and the car is in good mechanical condition theres no reason not to get it. Getting the VIN would provide you the origin of the car. At the base of the windshield on the drivers side there is a clear spot in the blueing where the VIN will be visible. Its also printed in the drivers door jam, behind the trunk license plate, and in several other places on the bodywork year depending.
To your earlier question. Sportline was an option on all Mercedes W124s in Europe and on a limited selection of W124s in North America. Tighter ratio steering boxes, firmer suspension, smaller steering wheels, and bucket seats among other changes. From your interior photos I'd guess one of the previous owners was afflicted with sticker rage and thought it would be cool to add those quarter panel badges. Its not actually a Sportline.

They are asking $7000.
If it's mechanically sound and has service/maintenance records that you can review, I would probably go around $6K.
Lot of nice parts on it, which are worth a few thousand if off the car !!!
Before you do anything post the VIN number as Eliot suggested.
Finding out what it really is can then determine a fair price !
