Buyer's advice - W124 CE

[thechasmanblue]

I'm thinking of buying one of these as a second car and despite general assurances about their quality and strength was wondering what to look out for to make for easy ownership. Are there any common faults, expensive consumables or annoying niggles etc?
Also wondering what to pay for one in good nick. Should milage worry me as most seem to have 125k+? Most likely model would be a 300CE 1990-93.
Cheers.

Lot more experienced owners than I but. my ten penneth.

Look for one with Leather.

Travel some extra distance for a good un. There's a really nice blue one in birmingham for sale. autotrader !

Look for FSH + Leather + the less owners the better. if it's not mint dont buy it.

look at loads to get a feel for a good one and a good price.
