Anyone in South Carolina near Charleston that can check it out?

We are planning on getting a prepurchase inspection for sure... I also
hope to pick everyones brain about the car we eventually decide on.
Good info on what else to check/not worry so much about. I am going to
make a list of all this..

A prepurchase inspection is a must. Even if you go through a few
hundred dollars to find the right car, it's money well spent,
especially since you're relatively new to the marque.
Fortunately these cars aren't terribly complex, so the things that
will be most important t check are rust and rust. Door bottoms, bottom
edge of the rear hatch, lower corners of rear window, jack points,
etc., are all critical places to look for damage, and ones that you
will use to rule out a potential addition to your garage.
After that I would focus on systems such as the SLS (leveling) as
parts of it are expensive to repair/replace. From there on out the
rest are pretty easy to deal with and not deal breakers in most
situations. Central locking is a piece of cake to troubleshoot and
repair as are most electrical issues. ACC (automatic climate control)
is also pretty straightforward and will most likely have you replacing
leaking vacuum actuators, none of which are terribly expensive, maybe $50.
Post your findings here if you talk to or check out a car - there are
a lot of current and former W123 owners around with many years of
experience.
