1976 Mercedes-Benz W123 review from Netherlands
"A comfortable reliable old car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator leak in the first month I owned the car. Replaced it with a new one.
The dynamo broke down after 8 months. It was possible to repair it.
Rust on the back-side around the wheels. Had to have an expert to put in new pieces left and right and resprayed.
General comments?
This car is the most comfortable car I ever owned. The automatic gearbox runs very smooth and when the engine is warm, the car is fast enough.
No need to rush in a car like this one.
