I had one of these wagons; one of my favourite cars, despite several issues like hidden rust and broken 4matic.

The M104 engine is one of the best Mercedes ever made, but the issues lie with everything else with the car; self-leveling rear suspension, wheel sensors, brake parts, driveshaft wear etc
I think this is a good deal, nice that the owner is up front about the issues. I would get them checked out. I almost bought a second one, had it inspected, and the mechanic told me to run away as fast as I could.
300TE's go for cheap, but the 300TD's go for up to 5x as much.
The 300D listed below is a great deal, I would check it out if I was in the market.

Aye. I dun' goofed....
Either way i'm constantly on the hunt for older minty Merc Diesels but i'm always afraid to pull the gun because i've never had/maintained a diesel before. Mind you they look relatively simple to work on compared to the modern ones.
