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.
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.
Mercedes Benz W124 200D is the best car ever made by Mercedes.
I live in San Francisco California (my car is grey market, not for sale in the U.S.). I have an 86 200D 5 Speed. It is a great car until you reach a hill, and it's down shifting until you reach the top.
