Not much. Fla. is a terrible place to buy a car, especially a really old one like this. The humidity makes for crap cars, generally speaking. The color could not be duller or more "German Ford Taurus", IMO. But someone liked it, they sold them. The seats in these cars should never need re-upholstering at 70k miles, I see them with 150-200k still looking good.
Something does not add up. But the bottom line is that a lot less than $6k gets you a choice of many with no stories from original owners, records, etc. I'm helping a broke pal buy one right now for about $2k, it's a nice car with 160k miles. They're cheap. The wagons are slightly more but still cheap.
They are well made cars but it doesn't get any duller than a w124, IMO. They are the Volvo 240 of MB cars. Sorry if this is harsh but you wanted my opinion.
