I run a 94 estate and it's glorious, owned for similar reasons to you in that I needed a workhorse but it's so good I use it for pleasure too.

Front wings rust but that's about it as far as I'm aware. Auto box clunkiness usually sorted by an oil change.

Highly recommended

Straight Six you wuss.

Hardly!

My W124 is a 220 4 pot and it's just fine for what I (and the OP) need the car to do.

You should check for rust all over anyway, its impossible to know whats happened to it over the years.
