1985 Mercedes-Benz W123 230CE review from North America
"I love my 230CE, will drive it for a long time"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Weather seals have cracked, carpet discolored.
A little slow on acceleration though.
General comments?
Beautiful body style, love the chrome bumper and trim.
Interior is roomy and comfortable.
