1990 Mercedes-Benz W124 300 TE W 4Matic review from Switzerland
"A great car, perfect in every detail"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The 4Matic (4-wheel-drive) is beginning to cause some troubles (leaking).
General comments?
By far the best and most reliable car I have ever owned. Even smoother and more comfortable than my former Jaguar XJ6 4.2 Series III. Looks almost new after 270'000 km.
