1989 Mercedes-Benz W124 200T review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After 170K, only thing apart from tyres and exhaust to need replacing were the engine mountings (hydraulic), and the thermostat!!
General comments?
A magnificent car - a tad under-powered with only a 2 litre under the bonnet - but is exactly what a Mercedes is all about; reliable, comfortable, strong and so well screwed together! The other guy with the Merc 200 clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. Maybe he should buy a BMW, or some other lesser make!
