The 124 forum is better, but I had a '94 for years. Great car.
Make sure the engine wiring harness has been replaced. MBZ used biodegradeable wiring and overdid it on the chemicals. When the wires were 8 years old -- they looked 80 years old. Every one of the 91 to 95's needed it.
Check to see if the head gasket was ever replaced - that's fairly common.
There is a radiator upgrade with a reinforced neck. Everything else is real standard stuff -- the oil changes, the disks (like u-joints) the motor mounts.
Great brakes. They have 4-piston calibers. It'll leave you hanging in the straps.
All in all a real fun car -- but it needs to have been cared for -- so insist on comprehensive records and get it checked out by someone who knows his W124's
Good Luck...
