1974 Mercedes-Benz W115 240D review from North America
"The best car I've ever had"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brakes failed in the highway and I had to use the emergency brake.
The transmission would not retain parking brake.
General comments?
I love this car. All my friends and family tell me it looks like an old school gangster car. I got it painted 1 month ago. It looks great.
I love the big windshield. It gives you a lot of visibility all around.
The seats are very comfortable. It feels as if you weren't wearing seat belts.
