95 S420 sluggish acceleration, cause?
Im looking to buy a 95 S420 with about 140k miles. I wont have a chance to get out and drive it until this weekend but the owner told me over the phone occasionally its a bit sluggish under acceleration and he thinks the cause is spark plugs or a fuel filter. Does anyone know what this could be?

the original owner had records stamped in the book for maybe the first 50-60k iirc. but after that no real records
I should probably have it inspected, but I dont want to do that at the dealership, anyone know a good merc indy in the twin cities?
