Considering buying E320T

New to this website, but not new to the Mercedes world. I recently stumbled across a low mileage 95 E320 wagon and am considering buying it. Looks fairly clean and only shows 80,000 miles. Any owners out there? Would you recommend this as a DD? How is the gas mileage? Love the E320 cabriolets but I do not have any experience with the wagons. Is $7000 resonable for a car that is rust free and straight? Loved all the cargo space and the jumpseat!

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
Inspect the wire

harness. Subject to breakdown of material and multiple issue with all sorts of electronic gremlins.
7K is way high,just bought another w124 wagon for $1500 in diamond blue metallic. Runs like a top,shifts like a dream,goes like a bat out of hell.
You might not find that kind of deal but 3-4K is more like it. 2 in my market for that now.Both very nice examples,rust free,very well maintained.
As always, Inspect,inspect,inspect
have fun on the hunt
you won't be getting the 27mpg hway like the m112 wagon more like 22-23 and 18 city. But you can run regular in them with no issues.

First, where do you live??
I'm assuming somewhere in the USA.
80K is of course, very low miles. However, "Lord" is right, anywhere in the Western US, expect to pay $3-4K for a rust-free, well maintained, 150k miles, car.

For $7K, it should be an exceptional car - perfect interior, maybe leather, documented maintenance, needs nothing. Always better to pay a little extra for the very best example.

As "Lord" will attest, people love them as daily drivers.
Post pics and details for a better assessment.
