1986 Mercedes-Benz W124 200 D review from Denmark
"Very good and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The first time the car wouldn't start (because of a loose wire to the start engine). It has started without problems each time since.
I have changed all brakes and tires because of wear.
General comments?
The 200 D is not a race car, but on longer rides it is very comfortable. Its ability to accelerate is OK if needed (with a lot of noise), but it feels better to drive it like a limousine.
My car got a new motor at around 500000 km, and this motor has run without problems.
The cabin is all brown, but is it in style.
The bodywork seems in good shape, maybe because it has been treated with anti-rust for the last 10 odd years.
