1996 Mercedes-Benz W124 320CE review from UK and Ireland
"V Cool appreciating classic Benz!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only problems so far have been replacing the fuel pump relay and another relay for the over supply and a small wiring fault.
General comments?
I love the looks of these coupes, they have a timeless appeal and are sure to become an appreciating classic.
The build quality of the the car in general is excellent.
The all round performance is very good, not setting the world on fire although the car enables you to cover a lot of ground at an acceptable pace with good all round levels of comfort.
The coupe still seats four in comfort and load holding is good because of big boot.
The straight six 3200CC engine pulls like a possessed maniac and sounds great when on sound.
All told I love this car, it still looks really cool (more so than current models) and is built like a Mercedes should be (not like current models).
