Looking to get a W124 within the next couple weeks, mainly since they're so plentiful and cheap here around Toronto, then I can drive it for a year, and sell it back home in New Brunswick where there's less supply for more money (or at least break even).
Anyways, I've noticed there's at least a couple W124 guys on here and plenty of Benz people, so I'd like to ask for some advice. I'll be committing an unworldly sin and buying a Benz that's under $5000 (nothing's as expensive as a cheap Mercedes ;)), and would be a sedan with an M103. I really don't care if the car will last me for the rest of my life as I will be selling next February and just need it to be good for about a year with general maintenance, so I feel pretty safe buying a cheaper one (bear in mind the Toronto prices seem ultra-low anyways, I'm assuming simply because of supply).
I know about the wiring harnesses and will look to see if they've been replaced, also will check the head gasket, but do any of you W124 guys have further insight for me?
Thanks
