This is my friend David car. He has owned it about 18 yrs now. He bought it with about 90k miles on it and has slowly gotten it up to 148k now. i dont need to tell anyone that is low miles if you are looking at this you know this is nothing for this car! It needs a couple of things. the a/c needs to be gone thru. it was all original and finally quit a couple of summers ago. It needs a glow plug relay and a few other odds and ends but it is overal in amazing shape he has spent very good money keeping this car up but he drive the 53k mile 2009 4 runner now and his better half drives the new tundra. I may get my hand on the old tindra it is really in better shape than i thought enjoy this video!
As a person living in Sweden, I can’t help but admire those green, clean and WIDE American roads!
you like these? I hate our wide, unwalkable, no sidewalk, no bikelane, strodes.
@@TomCook1993 bike lanes?🤮🤮🤮
هذا سيار اجمل سيار في عالم كل مرسيدس فقط في ناس يقولون بأن هذا سيار قديم انا اقول لكم بأن هذا سيار ليست قديم ولكن احسن من حديث 😊😊😊😊😊😊
agreed!
These ‘95 E300 Diesels are impressive cars on so many levels. Beautifully styled and constructed, they are solid and comfortable, with reassuring handling and a beautiful ride. A friend of mine in California is the original owner of a pristine 227,000+ mileage example, and he’s not parting with it. It’s easy to see why.
Are they more solid built than the new ines
@@WhaleGuyForLife yes
I have the same car with 350k miles on and still running strong. No issues, everything works. I’m the second owner of the car, absolutely in love with it. my daily driver that I would not trade for anything else.
You are sir.....a very smart man
Just picked one up locally. Was looking for the right one long time.
That one is “drool worthy”! Very, very nice, especially the beautiful interior!😍
Matt's Garage crazy nice Matt!
@@JoesGoldenGarage Just watched this one again… Literally preparing to drive my W124 Coupe for the first time in nearly 3 years tomorrow after so much work.👌
@@CarswithNash can’t wait to see a video!
This brings up childhood memorys. My father had one of those when I was a kid and it was by far the most reliable car we've ever had. It had driven over 600,000 miles with no engine issues. the only problem with them is rust and newer emission standards in Germany which means you can't really drive them anymore.
I really want to have this car.....it reminds me of my childhood when i saw the taxicars coming....all of them was mercedes w124 diesels.....beutyful cars.....
I owned one just like the one in this video, same color and everything. 750.000 km on it, when I let go of the car. Only changed the front wheel bearings - nothing else. Of cause did all oil changes, tire changes, brakes etc. But what a nice car - most reliable I have ever had.
What a beautiful car. This is exactly the model I wish I owned. But there are almost never black 300 Diesels available.
A couple of years ago, I test drove a pristine 55,000 mile '96 210 E300 Diesel -- same engine and transmission as this '95 124 E300 Diesel. Nicest 210 I've ever seen by a country mile. Had the cash in my front pocket.
Granted, the 210 is a bit heavier than the 124 (a quick google suggests ~150-200 lbs), but I just couldn't do it. It sounded great, and I'm not saying it hates to rev -- it doesn't... but it seemed labored and slow compared to the 85,000 mile '79 116 300SD Turbodiesel I had arrived in.
While I continue to fantasize about my dream diesel Benz (124 wagon, built 606.96x, variable geometry turbo, ZF 8HP gearbox), I picked up a nice 102,000 mile '98 210 E300 Turbodiesel to tide me over. It's comfortable, more than fast enough to get me in serious trouble, sounds great, sips fuel, and it has a couple of nice "modern car" creature comforts. It even runs cool at high speed with a new radiator and water pump (METAL impeller!). When it inevitably rusts out because it's a 210, I'll have a good donor motor.
You can't argue with the durability and economy of these late 124 Diesels... but for me, I gotta have boost!
I have 2. OM606 1987 & OM603 1995. These are made for long distance, heavy cruising distances. I get about 700 miles a tank on the 95. 87 has 450K & 95 226K. You are right, 70 to 80 is the sweet spot. Love these cars!!
I have a 1995, muffler rusted loose last week. I'm considering replacing most of the exhaust, I've read mixed reviews about removing the catalyst unit, some say it will be too noisy, some say installing a resonator will quiet it down.
@@Hubjeep Best of luck. I have been very blessed that the prrevious owners took great care of both of them. Still, I have at to of at least sunk in at least 2,000 dolars, not bad for the age of the cars. I am thinking it will pay for itself, being how it will last me ahother 20 plus years. Nothing but yeah!! Folks bitch about the money, but I believe its pays for itself in the long run. The choice is ours only! Hope it works,out for you.
Being inspired, I am going out on my Mercedes to grab some coffee. Hahaha.
Well done 👏 ✔️ 👍. Good friend.
What a Teutonic beauty
beautiful Benz and beautiful location 😍
I had 1995 E300d with this engine. If you calculate hp per liter of displacement, it’s actually the most powerful naturally aspirated mass produced diesel engine - about 45hp/liter. It also has a nice flat torque curve 210 Nm/155 ft-lb @2200-4600rpm, that what makes it so smooth. Before that I had a 1991 3.0 turbo diesel (145hp), which was more powerful and faster, but I prefer the naturally aspirated one because it smoother.
I have had both as well and I agree. The only thing I could notice was the turbo was better on the freeway. A little bit. But it tended to run hot
@@JoesGoldenGarage Yes, the 3.0 turbo has a 2.65 rear diff whereas the 3.0 NA is 2.87 so the turbo is slightly better on the freeway, given that the final gear ratio is the same 1:1 in both cars.
I live in Europe so both of my cars were european spec, and the 3.0 turbo had a separate engine oil radiator. Apparently, not all 3.0 turbo diesels had it, it was an option, sort of an "autobahn" version more suitable for high speed cruising, so i had no problems with overheating.
80s and 90s mercedes were good cars. Well built and fairly trouble free. I had an 85 300d turbodiesel back from 01 to 05. Had 280k miles when I sold and I had kept it up. I liked the car but my lead foot just did not get along with it.
I have had 6 w123 cars. Bought my first in 2000 and my last in 2013
Beautiful car with a great motor!
big daddy I will own this car ONE day. Lol. No time soon tho
i have a 87 300d turbo diesel om603. love my car.
Wow I love that interior color, beautiful
When the glowplug light lights up after startup when one or more glowplugs are shot.
Najbolje auto ikada napravljeno
NICE! I have the same year and model, special edition in two-tone silver/ash interior, 218,000 miles!
Beautiful Benz
These Mercedes are the best ever built,I have one in Tanzania the petrol one.
My love MB diesel.
Great cars Mercedes used make compared to the new Mercs this is alot alot better then the new crap mercs this is simple, with some issues but then this is 25 year old, still better then new ones, new ones 25 later you will not see one of them but these 40 years later still running. Thays qulity and not the new techy expensive stuff. 1995 this car seems pretty good and doesn't feel like that old.
Ive had 2 mbz diesels self destruct, i like m103 &m104 motors.
انا احب سيار مرسيدس جميل جدا سيار شخصية 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
The glowing relay is just fine, thats the intended behaviour to tell the Driver that more than 1 glowplug is defective. From the Sound after start (louder cylinders) I'd say 2 or 3 plugs. The light stays on for exactly one Minute after starting the engine (See manual)
Thanks my white 95 started to do the same thing. But my 97 Starts Way easier and much better. But it does have new injectors glow plugs and the injection pomp
It holds Freon just somewhere wire harnes isn't working correctly we have replaced the 003 545 cant remember rest but that relay and install new wireharness nothing so its gotta be somewhere behind the dash debating just going to a dealership finally
i got to test drive one of these on the worst of our typically crappy US roads, it was among the most civilized of diesel cars i'd driven up to that point in terms of its noise level, which was almost as quiet as the gas cars at least at cruising speed. it was slow, i had to flatfoot it just to take off from a stop, and with foot to the floor eventually made it to 60 mph after a good 20 seconds or so. my dad's 300D 5-cylinder diesel actually felt faster. it rode like no other car [including old cadillacs], you just didn't feel any road bumps in this thing, not even raised railroad tracks registered inside the cockpit.
If this is 12 second to 60 i can live with , such a cooool , me to , blesses.
It is plenty fast. Lots of Highway power. Will run 95-100 all day. Easy
Great video!!! Hard to find W124 content but this is great.
A.C. not working? Ya gotta get it fixed. The longer it sits the worse it will get. A car that gorgeous should not have wrecked ac.
اشكرك على سيار اسد قوي 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
There is probably nothing wrong with the glow plug relay. When the light comes on after starting the car, it means that a glow plug does not work any longer.
w124250d1992 gotcha. Well it doesn’t need them anyway
That rattling when you popped the hood is likely the belt tensioner gas strut. You can check that by tensioning the top mount location with a screwdriver just a bit.
Cool man. Thx. I don't know if it has been started since this video.
@@JoesGoldenGarage damn, that's sad. Real hard on an engine to not run for that long. I just bought one of these about two months ago. Has 260k on it and needs attention, but I love these cars. W124 is such a practical chassis. Ride is better than most modern cars I have ridden in. Does your friend want to sell it? 😅
mine has 323k miles and it can be abused and still ask for more . very very very relaible car
Never push a car like that before the engine is at full temperature.
ArnaudShanghai they love it
Italian tune up
@@JoesGoldenGarage italian Tune Up Still is intended to be done with warm engine
Normally absolutely true. However the om606 is indestructible, it can Deal with it
That’s one sweet car. I’m up in NE Georgia mountains. I’ve got a 1980 240d
My folks have a place on lake blue ridge. I went to private school in Rabun County. Where u from?
Joes Golden Garage I am from Towns and Union county. Lake Blue Ridge. Cool. Rabun...how’d you end up in school there? - I stumbled across the video of yours about the back Mercedes on RUclips. What is your channel about? Are you a Mercedes mechanic? Sell cars? Thanks
Technical Items yeah I ended up at rabun gap nacoochee school in the 80s as a troubled teen. . I am a TN dealer. I just buy and sell cheap cars that I buy at the dealer auctions that are new car trade-ins. I just happen to love Mercedes and lexus. I have learned how to work on my Mercedes just by watching RUclips. I have a white E300 d now. The Black one is my best friend from grade school
Joes Golden Garage haha. A troubled teen? Nah. Couldn’t be so If you like the mechanical stuff. I think Rabun is a rich kid’s school now. Not necessarily troubled kids. Not sure. Or, there may be a couple of schools. I guess you went to the school by the Dillard House? It’s a nice area. Highlands is nice as well. - I own and operate my own heavy equipment and trucks. I have to work on my own machines unless it’s something crazy like a transmission or similar. I traded some work for my cousins 1980 240d manual. She is 87. Car was bought new by her back in the day. It’s the slowest car i have ever driven. Good mpg though. Got to fix some little quirks. Especially the A/C. Putting new rear brakes on the car tonight!
That interior color is called, "palomino". It as fairly popular up until the 90s
Have the same model with 340,000 miles on her
I have the SAME exact car, same model, same year, same color, the only difference is mine has power seats but no memory. Mine has 302.000 miles on the original engine and transmission and it drives better than my wife's much newer Subaru.
They rock! I have a 97 e300
Then you must be pretty lucky!
@@SuperBackhere not lucky. These cars were designed and built to the highest standards and it shows.
@@mleindek can you explain more of what you mean?
@@SuperBackhere grab almost any vehicle from the early 90's and drive it. Then go drive a W124, you'll get what I mean.
The interior colour is "saffron" :)
I have a w124 2.5 turbo 5cyl, I had that problem with the glow plug relay light come on after start it only means that a plug is burnt and needs replaced. Easy fix
Thanks man. I bought one of these cars for myself. Check out the video. Thx.
going to look at one today with dark interior 20000k the guy blacked out the wheels, grill and dark tint so other than the tint it looks in very good cond
These are my very favorite. I have had a 95 and a 97 now
Un bijou
Me and my father owns 3 of these together all have a/c problems cant figure it out for nothing moral of the story when you directly bypass the whole wireharness a/c works perfectly plug it in and nothing
did you try with the overpower relay?
Great car!
Knowing that peak power is @5k rpm, it bothers me that it shifts before that.
I had a tan interior e300 diesel
So Im looking at the iconic mobster 1999 S500 and a 1995 S300D and can’t decide which one to buy.
Any advice??
99 500 is pretty good by 99. But a 95 e300. Just so easy to keep up and cheap!
Nice car I’m really considering saving up for 1, but I have a question how big is the inside of the car? I’m 6’3 so I need quite a bit of leg room
I have the same exact car, same year, same configuration, I'm 6'2 and I do just fine. If you have cup holders on the doors like this one has your left leg will hit it so it will be unusable but other than that it's a super comfortable car.
Thnx
@10:48 probably needs glow plugs.
"Its a little dirty they have dogs" Said as if having dogs entitles the dogs to make your car interior filthy. Its automatic. At the expense of the quality of the car interior. Dogs have two musk glands. One on each side of the anus. When they sit, the musk is transferred to the sitting surface. Once you have the musk oil in the upholstery, you will never get it out. You can cover it with scents, but you'll always have the musk. I can always tell if a car has had dogs inside of it. This generation is given over to dogs. They'd rather have dogs than children. They're a terminal generation.
Its in sale?
I would have fixed the AC myself, specially if he has a garage :)
How much cost is this car
Does this car exist?
My dashboard cluster lights are not lighting up. Is it just fuse (hopefully)????
They are very bad about going out on these cars
Are they difficult and expensive to replace? The radio also does not work too. I bought this 1995 e300d Benz with 147k. Body looks great, and I understand it’s a 25 year old car, that I’ll use as a spare to save mileage on my my newer car. But I like it. Can the radio be replaced with a newer Bluetooth compatible radio? Thank you for responding.
@@rgood9399 they are not difficult nor expensive to replace, usually when ALL the lights go out it's the dimmer that's located on the instrument cluster. Feel free to email me at mleindekar@gmail.com and I can give you some advice on how to get to it.
14 hours for evaporator replacement 😵😵
Hi i want ask you for mercedes E300 1994
I got that same exact car just different color
Myke G you sir......make me envious. I hope it’s as lovely as this one. I am a firm believer in taking care of this solid classics.
@@JoesGoldenGarage it in good condition it got few probs I'm working on fixing but starts on demand no backtalks still running better than my girls Prius 🤣🤣🤣
I can't remember, did you ever end up buying this?
No my best friend still owns it. He put it up in garage covered it
@@JoesGoldenGarage I am picking up a W124 diesel today :)
@@youtoobe169 no way man! What did u find?
Still you have that car?
I mean the 1995 Mercedes Benz 300D turbo
This is my friends car. He still has it. This is a non turbo car in the USA
Thanks
Pls tell him to contact me when he want to sell that Mercedes if it not expensive
Nice car, too bad no turbo that year. :(
Why it's not turbo?
Not in USA for 1995
@@JoesGoldenGarage, 5 cylinder best diesel engine? What qualifies them to be the best? I know nothing about Mercedes diesel and trying to learn before I make a decision which one to purchase
5 cylinder turbo. Best one
For sale? :)
My hood has acne
80 'F = 26.6'C, 😁😁😁 cold start😂😂😂😂
Open cheque book but didn’t fix the air con 🤭
