It would help if you knew the maintenance history. But assuming everything looks in good condition, I'd buy it in a heartbeat, as these cars will rust out before they wear out if they are taken care of. I've had 5 Mercedes turbodiesels, and anymore, I just look at the body and interior. If the interior hasn't been taken care of, you can bet the stuff you CAN'T see hasn't been either. With reasonable care, over 500,000 miles without major problems is not unusual on these cars. On a gas model, they're good for about 300K miles at least. Let me put it this way, I'd take a 400K diesel Mercedes car before I'd take a 150K anything else. Mercedes often have cruise control and A/C problems no matter which model or year it is, and it's expensive to fix right. If those work, you're home free pretty much. I've had to fix both on all 5 of mine if that tells you anything. I think the 5 cyl diesels are more reliable than the 6 cyl diesel.
