1980 Mercedes-Benz W123 300TD review from North America
"A nice local road cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Passenger side, back right passenger side, and back left passenger side windows came off their retractor.
Driver's seat was very worn.
Driving light and backup lights broke.
We couldn't budge the driving mirrors.
Gas gauge didn't work.
The air conditioning had to be replaced.
General comments?
The engine and transmission in this car were indestructable. They will last for another 200,000 miles.
This car is very comfortable. I really like the big sunroof.
