1992 Mercedes-Benz W124 250D review from UK and Ireland
"Lovely car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Natural wear due to 17 year age.
Drivers seat squab worn through.
Front wings rusty on and in front of wheel arch.
General comments?
A lovely car.
Have only owned her for three months, and don't want to ever change her (except for a 1994 or 1995 model).
She's comfortable, a handy size, reliable and surprisingly economical for a car weighing 1 1/2 tonnes (44mpg).
Very smooth ride, predictable cornering (my first rear-wheel drive car) and very well engineered.
Repair work has been surprisingly cheap with genuine Mercedes-Benz parts.
Have changed the thermostat, engine temperature sender, lamps and switches etc. Very easy to do.
I bought the car because a friend of a friend had been nagged into selling her. Never seen a manual 250D before so leapt at the chance.
Have driven a 1995 300D before. Very nice car apart from the auto gearbox.
