1981 Mercedes-Benz W123 230CE review from North America
"Nice car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes are gone, however does stop.
Starter is shot.
Bad on gas.
The back floor rusted away on the driver's side.
General comments?
This is my third Euro Benz, hard to find parts for, but I love it.
Good running when it started, it has power and class.
