buying advice on a 1994 s320

hello fellow worshippers of the three pointed star...

I'm a w202 lorinser setup and r170 amg setup owner and am throughly enjoying both cars and modding them...

chanced upon a cheap w140 and am contemplating on buying it.

1994 model sunroof, powerseats, white on tan with 44t miles on the clock. not really familiar with these cars but have visions of having a brabus dressed up s320...

any advice on what to look for before I purchase?

any common problems with this model?

any help would be greatly appreciated...

thanks guys

well in manila cars are really more expensive than anywhere else with the taxes...the guy's selling it for P750,000, which is roughly $15,000. while most of the same model still fetch around 20 grand or more...I've always loved the way the 140 looks...so bad ass, so strong, and solid. post some pix and make me drool enough to get one haha...

but seriously aesthetics aside, is there any major kink the car has that i should look out for... ie: for my c class i had to check the dreaded rotting wiring harness, and the MAF, and for the SLK, it was the rectractable hardtop I had to look out for...

Thanks guys

depending on the shape of the body and internals, i would offer him 500000 to 650000... enjoy driving it as much as i can, keeping in mind that the engine gonna die anytime

actually, considering that its a 600, i would highly doubt the engien is not already rebuilt.

die anytime? that's not very encouraging bro.... and it's a 320...not a 600 . . .
