1978 Mercedes-Benz W123 240D review from North America
"Mercedes Everlasting Car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Everything I haven't driven the car since 2002, The best part is that I started it up this year 2005 and it runs smoothly. with 785,955miles. Mostly the car's interior is okay shape and the exterior needs a paint job badly, I have never got in a accident since I bought in 1978.
General comments?
Even to this date this car will never give up with 785,955miles.The paint is very bad becuse I haven't start this car since 2002, but this year I just put the battery in and turn the key and it still started like when I bought in 1978. I took it around the block and on the freeway for 30mins and the car runs like brand new even if it doesn't look like brand new.
