1990 Mercedes-Benz W124 300TE review from UK and Ireland
"Every family should have one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drivers side window lift, yet to be repaired.
Alternator failed after driving through a flood-well it was old!Repair cost £200 pounds.
Stone chipped headlamp lens cost only £35 to replace.
General comments?
Astonishing build quality, I thought there were many new parts under the bonnet, they still looked new.
Despite the age and mileage it is in great condition inside and out which is a tribute both to the manufacturer and the two previous owners.
It is comfortable and quiet. Despite the enormous size it handles and stops well with a great turn of speed for a family bus.
It has been cheap to run with few repairs and a very reasonable 30mpg in the cruise, it is a bit more thirsty around town.
