Does anyone know any garage that maintain the W124 Mercedes E320 for economical rate?

I'm thinking of getting a 1994 Mercedes E320 with 134,000km. Anything I should look for when I am looking to buy a 1994 Mercedes E320? Are there any garage(s) that maintain/fix W124 1994 Mercedes E320 or Mercedes in general for economical rates?

electronics would be the most important thing too consider when buying a 16.5 year old luxury vehicle.

biodegradable wiring
be very afraid

i was shopping for one a few years back. general rule of thumb. number before letter, good. ie 300E. letter before number, bad. E320. 93 and earlier should not have wiring issues. ac seems to be a common issue and anything vacuum operated.

S.T.F.F....This topic has been covered numerous times.


I love how so many RS'rs are buying older Benz's and then ask for the cheapest Indy Mechanic...for the love of christ, don't buy a Benz if you have to skimp on mechanical repairs...
