1985 Mercedes-Benz W124 300D T review from North America
"An expensive car to repair, but want to keep. Putting in about $1000 year repairs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car since I've owned it, but the previous owner only kept up work on the engine.
Needs shocks.
Brakes.
Replaced lower bushings.
Need upper bushings, @ $400.00 plus.
Wearing out front tires.
General comments?
Car is slow, but once up to speed she's a great tourer.
Dashboard is cracked and the instrumentation is dim.
