  • This is a special feature on the Mercedes Benz W124
    The W124 was unveiled in 1984 and sold until 1996. As the successor to the iconic W123, it had great shoes to fill. During this time, cars had a longer shelf life and as such, engineers could push the boundaries since they were not hampered as much by time or budgetary constraints. Hence, the W124 is considered to be over engineered and arguably one of the best automobiles ever made.
    Planning and development for the W124 began in the late 70s, but despite that being 40 years ago, this car pioneered equipment and tech still being used in cars today such as the SRS airbag and multi-link suspension. The W124 has a drag coefficient of 0.26 which still makes it one of the most aerodynamic sedans to date.
    Find out more about this car's revelations and what it's like to drive by watching this tribute video about a car that was made and built to last.

    I purchased a new W124 in 1986 in Australia. It was a solid, well built vehicle built to last. I now regret selling it in 2017 with 185K on the clock. Everything about it was excellent - great for city driving & cruising in the country. Very comfortable & reliable. Truly earnt it’s reputation as over engineered in comparison to other vehicles.

    I just purchased a 1987 W124 300e in Artic White. I have a few things on the list to attend to but the black MB Tex interior is almost perfect, no dash cracks, and no engine leaks with only 121,000km!!! I am in love.

    I think this is the best Mercedes Benz of all time. I have a W123 ('76) and a W124 ('93). Both great cars but the W124 is simply amazing.

    I have a 1990 MB 300E with 185K miles and looks brand new = it has been maintained to perfection.
    I just put $5K into for a valve job (notorious for this need), motor mounts, transmission mount, and misc.
    I paid $2.5K for it in 2013 and over the years I put ~$12K total into it = $ well spent for a classic, beautiful car!

    • @paulk9985
      @paulk9985 2 года назад +1

      Ouch. Sounds like a lot of money you have invested. I have a 95 Cabriolet with 70k miles. Haven't spent anything since purchased five years ago, but I don't drive it much. It sure is very comfortable with a nice ride and VERY solid feel. I doubt a current MB will hold up like these.

    The W124 series was the last of the Mercedes cars with a typical Daimler Benz styling, unlike the current models, which could wear any badge. They can easily be mistaken for a car made somewhere in Asia.

    I owned a 1991 300E. The car was built incredibly well. BUT at the end of the year, there was a stack of maintenance bills that always added up to several thousand dollars. I got rid of it just to get away from it draining my wallet

    The diesel variant was the greatest car because the gas didn't get very good fuel mileage and you had to use premium

    I have a car like this however its the 230E variation but the bumper is messed up. I'm actually trying to find a shop where they'd be able to sell a stock front bumper and its pretty scarce😂. I sure hope you'd be able to help me find a shop. Best Wishes and Ride safely🙏

      Sorry, I'm not aware of any shops. Your best bet might be the second hand market online.

    Change the steering shock on the car and it will steer razor-sharp. It's a cheap part and a child can change it. Only two bolts.
