1996 E320, buy or not?

It has 125k miles on it, but it is in real clean condition. Anyone have opinions on this?

W212 & W210

As with most cars, you should look at it on an idividual basis.
My 96 has 192K miles on it and drives fine.
Look into the maintenance records and see how well it was maintained.
The M104 engine is one of the best but some have a oil seal leak problem.
