Should I buy this E500 ?

OK...so I'm looking at a 2004 E500 wagon (W211) with all the bells and whistles, load leveling, 4matic... etc etc. and 125,000 miles BUT with a perfect service history. Well, at least up to date according to the book......should I be steering away from this car?? What surprises do I have in store...what should I be looking at/for? Price is US$14,500.

You sure it's a 2003?

I believe the W211 wagon first came out as a 2004.

'06 E500 Flint Grey - Charcoal
125K miles? Not to say it can't be reliable for another 125K (I currently have 270K on my 200 Volvo S80 ... so cars can do it)....

... but $14K for that is WAY to high ... should be under $10K
