1984 Mercedes-Benz W123 200 review from Indonesia
"Sindelfingen must re-create this baby!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car has been great. I've only had it a few months, but nothing has gone wrong yet. It runs really smooth and quiet, except at idle like most diesels. No real squeaking sounds or off key engine tones. Interior is in mint shape. Overall, very good condition. Too bad Sindelfingen not produce it anymore!
This car is the most comfortable car I ever owned. The manual gearbox runs very smooth and when the engine is warm, the car is fast enough.
No need to rush in a car like this one.
General comments?
The best Mercedes middle class saloon by far ever!
