1985 Mercedes-Benz E-Class 250 D 2.5L. diesel from Netherlands

Faults:

The heater control was replaced.

The sunroof motor got replaced.

New front brake disc's and pads every 25000 km.

New hardy-clutch every 50.000 km.

Frequent power window failures.

Windscreen wiper is weak point.

The power locks failed regularly.

Rust is the biggest enemy of this car, especially years 85 - 88.

General Comments:

The MB W-124 series is one of the best cars on the street, today still.

Best buys are 89 - 94 models.

Beware of rust.

Great cruiser, smooth ride, great mileage.
