also- mechanic mentioned issues with 85 300sd ABS braking- what issues should I look for there?

A "GOOD" shop (dealer quality=high price) will probably charge more for the job than the car is worth. It is best to find a shop (or friend/mechanic) that will work with you (using your supplied parts) on the suspension rebuild if you CAN'T do it yourself. These are very DIY friendly cars, and there are many suspension rebuild threads on this forum. The only real way to get good value from these cars is to work on them yourself, or find a competent mechanic (Mercedes-Benz enthusiast) to do the work at a fraction of dealer/Euro auto shop cost.
