I'v e been offered a 93 W124 turbo diesel estate for £500. Perfect inside ( leather) and out but with 300k miles and an engine with a broken drive chain. He hasn't taken the engine apart but although I realise you don't have to spend much on these cars before you exceed their value, how much damage can a chain do? Could it write off top and bottom? I don't really want to dismantle the engine before agreeing to take it. Finding a complete engine in good nick would I guess be expensive.
