Questions before buying a R129 Mopf 2

I would like to buy a R129, either a SL 320 or SL 500. in any case it is to become a mopf 2 from 1999 with low mileage and Euro3. Euro4 is surely illusion?! Offers with a low mileage and if necessary carfax there are some. Is there anything to consider with the SL that must be on the screen? Serial errors in engine, transmission or electronics? Origin USA, Japan or Germany/Europe? Or can you not do much wrong? And something absolutely for the 320s or 500s? Am not now the racer, cruise prefers to be comfortable over land, whereby when stepping on the accelerator pedal a sovereign forward movement can take place calmly. A check at Mercedes Benz is of course planned, despite new TÜV acceptance and if necessary Carfax. Perhaps not unimportant: it should become a second car/summer vehicle, annual driving performance approx. 5,000 km.
