1987 Mercedes-Benz W124 300D review from Australia and New Zealand
"So far I love this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had the car for a few days only and it is going like a dream.
It has done a lot of kilometer's, but has been well looked after. It pays to change the oil and filters every 10,000 kms.
The car was owned by a farmer's wife (70yo) so it was well treated. I have always wanted a diesel car and this one was hard to find. I just kept looking and it was in the Trading Post. It only came with one set of keys. There is a locksmith in Sydney who will cut some new ones.
General comments?
The car is a "head turner". The man at the front gate said that.
It is very comfortable to ride in.
It has more power than the 5cyl 300D.
