These cars are pretty tough, so getting to 210K doesn't necessary = good maintenance. When I got my 85 it was pretty well neglected including being parked on the street and not started or moved for 6 years. I thoroughly enjoyed the 10 years I got out of it even though I spent a significant amount if time and money on it. At 240K it still ran extremely well, but it was far from the most attractive car exterior or interior wise.
to me, the best way to know it was maintained would be to have the documented history, or take it to a knowledgeable 928 mechanic for a PPI.
From my perspective I drive every day tractor and the Mercedes W123 is an tractor too.
It‘s a car with good build quality ,rust protection is Mercedes‘ like bad and the car is in every manner slow.
Technically the 928 is two decades newer than the Benz. Ist's a workhorse, can Drive 1.000.000 km as a Taxi in Marocco Freshly restored W123 from my Brother in law. He Likes such cars, has a VW T2 Camper.
