1980 Mercedes-Benz W123 300TD review from North America
"None made better!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very few things over the years have gone bad. With some maintenance and proper care, these car last forever.
General comments?
If you find a 300TD non turbo, they are worth every cent you pay for them. While it is not a speed freaky type car, they outlast any other car that any of the family ever bought. Plus the ride is smooth as silk still. It is like sitting on the couch.
