1979 Mercedes-Benz W123 200D review from Finland
"A car that you can trust"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing. We did quite big engine repair when we bought this and after that (and those 400 000km), nothing. Of course there have been some small problems (with electrics etc.), but nothing bigger. It have never leave on the road.
General comments?
Car that you can trust. Only bad thing is that it is very slow. Max speed is about 140kmh and 0-100 takes something about 16 seconds or more...
