That's an early W210. All of the 210's have, or will have rust issues
(such as bubbles popping in the middle of panels, nowhere near a chip
or scratch). Beware the front spring perches (which have rusted off!),
the blower motor regulator (the redesigned one requires a redesigned
blower motor, but I hear you can modify a W140 one to work...), the
evaporator, which is known to rot out, and the glow plugs (which are
known to snap off in the head).
That said, I have a pair of 99's (his und hers...), and they are
nice... they already have the redesigned blower and a newer design
evaporator (but not the latest design)... 98 and up are turbo/
intercooled (they are all 4 valve/cylinder DOHC, which necessitates
the long snappish glow plugs...)
I think you may need to throw out your old impulse counter/blink box,
since it won't work with the thing...

Wow! That's looks like a great deal! I think I paid around $7500
for my '91 3 years ago - would love to have a 98!
I wonder how build quality compares between the W124 and 98 300D?
Anybody have any ideas?
Thx
