1986 Mercedes-Benz W124 230e 2.3L petrol

Summary:

Need attention to keep it running after nearly 20 years, but worth it

Faults:

Radiator tank replaced

Drivers side electric window winder needs replacing (parts $150 after market)

General Comments:

I've had no major problems with this car. Because of it's age and KM's travelled it needs to be serviced and maintained. Fortunately most parts are available after market at reasonable prices. (Full set of rotors and pads, fitted for $500) It's pretty easy to do minor repairs yourself.

Fantastic to drive, but a little slow off the mark with the 2.3l engine. A real cruising machine that still looks good after 20 years. Makes a great 2nd. car.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
