1985 Mercedes-Benz W123 200 review from Sweden
"You will get a lot of car for a small amount of cash!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The vacuum central locking is living its own life. But it works most of the time if used within one minute from turning of the car.
The drivers seat is very swampy, but that is the usual condition for an old Mercedes!
General comments?
The quality of these cars is just amazing. Everything single part is solid as a rock.
The comfort is unmatched if consider the model was released in 1976, and it still beats many newer cars such as Toyota Camry and Ford Mondeo.
