I used to own one of these , their major problem is their maintenance ... Let's face it , these cars are old , and mostly gonna need quite a lot of maintenance ... The problem with these specific models is that they are not old and simple enough to do their maintenance yourself, yet not modern enough to need little or no maintenance , consequently , you end up ( in most cases) with a car that needs repairs that would cost almost twice its price ... Don't get me wrong , i am still a Mercedes fan to the heart , specially these old ones , I just think they shouldn't be a daily-driver .. It probably should be something you take out for a spin or a date in a warm summer night every once in awhile ...

@andipajeroking 4 жыл бұрын

@@ahmedafify1503 If you do that they will break more often than daily driving it. And if you buy a new car because you don t want to pay on maintenance, you should not drive in the first place, its cheaper.

Only thing he has replaced through the years is the clutch (6spd manual) and the paint is fading away, so the car is in need of a complete paint job. I have a 1994 W124 with the same motor and 5spd manual. These are not fast cars, but are unique to drive... Not because of their sharp steering, but because of the way they make you feel!
