    Till this day when I think of Mercedes, I mean this model. So nostalgic.

    These old Mercedes were truly solid machines. Just a complete flex of German mechanical engineering.

      The W123 was better-looking, I think. But the W124 is closer to a truly modern car in terms of bells and whistles - particularly safety.

    I use to work at a Mercedes Benz workshop in the township these cars where daily bread, the smooth ride and the smooth gear shift,when sitting up back you could not tell of the car was a manual or a automatic. The German car smell that stuck on your clothes meant you drove something special. Mercedes Benz made driving a experience

    “S” in the automatic gearbox means “standard”, not “sport”!

    My dad bought used 90 300d 124W in 97 with 130k on it.. 112 hp he had it 15 years never missed a beat.. Very quiet inside for a diesel it was regular oil changes and filters that was it.
    Sold it with 200k car is still going.
    Bright white.. Well finished blue interior

    Sport mode ?..🤔
    The 'S' at the gear selector means Standard mode. And the 'E' means Economy.
    Im using the same W124 model, the E220 as my main daily ride for many² years now.
    Never want to change to other brand, probably get a W140 later. 😊

    You should try the E280! That’s power! Or the 300E!!!

    Still in the 80's, the Citroen CX (released in 1974) was the most comfortable sedan, the W124 Mercedes was just behind with the second place. Of course beating the hydroneumatic Citroën suspension was impossible (even Rolls Royce used the Citroen technology)

    This particular car is interesting. It has the second facelift front and rear, but the rear bumper is from the first facelift. I have a 1990 230E, which has a second facelift (1993) look but the VIN indicates that it's a 230E. I far prefer to drive my w124 versus my 2000 w210 E240 2.6 V6, or my w204 C200K.

    The steering wheel's "tilt" is the same in my W124 as you mentioned. Even in my S210... Its normal

    S means standard E means economy at the gear selector . There is no sport mode. It's not a Lamborghini Aventador

    your description of the car is very accurate , but unfortunately the vidoe presentation was amerturish , for example you talk about the side view morrows being electricaly adustable but did not show the button ,nor did you show the passenger airbag position ,nor did you mention that Mercedes scarified the glove compartment for the airbag. there is nothing new, in this vidoe form other reviws of the 124 !
