1982 Mercedes-Benz W123 300D review from North America
"An excellent auto"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, an excellent auto, this one is a 10.
General comments?
I purchased the car with all the maint. records since new. car has no rust, the A/C has been converted to R134A. I get approx. 23 MPG to and from work, about 6 stops each way. Haven't had it on the road yet.
I looked for 1-1/2 yrs. before finding this one.
