Watch the paint and for any signs of rust. I think (if memory servers) the 
front strut towers were prone to corrosion if the car lived in certain 
climates, so give them a look over. I feel this was a time when Mercedes was 
having some quality control issues, so get a proper PPI on it, and make sure 
all the little gizmos work as they should. Again, from memory, I think these 
transmissions had extended service intervals, or fluid changes didn't allow 
complete renewal of the fluid or something, so check the condition of the 
trans, and the service history. 

Nice all around car. I think Clyde has one of the previous model, which was 
really a different car, but he probably would be the one to ask as I'm sure 
he's better versed with them.
