Buying a W124 Mercedes? Expect these things...

Bought a 1993 W124 Mercedes, and here is my initial thoughts...
This is a 1993 220E W124, the cheapest available in Australia, with service history and $2000 of recent repair and service bills.

W124 gives a sweet ride even after 30 years, there are issues and this one is not a show car and requires a lot of work. Would you ever buy one? What engine and body type your choice would be then?

You are lucky to find this gem. I am sure the replacement parts are plenty locally and online. Kindly restore it and keep us updated.

@sketchbabu Thanks mate, already bought many parts and lots of videos coming, will keep you posted, cheers Max 🍻

You will make that a beautiful car.
Here in Ireland our biggest enemy is corrosion from salt on the roads.

@tramptruck4859 Thanks mate, Yes W124 and rust are friends.

Fantastic! Congrats! 124 will always be one of my favorites. My family has a very low mileage C124 300CE (M103) sitting overseas. I need to import it and make sure it gets driven

@@SamAbraham Thanks Sam, it is great to see people loving these old machines and eager to go a long way to own and maintain these 👍

Nice find!! Looking forward to seeing your repairs.

[@BenzAddiction]

Thanks mate, sure. ;)

Nice car! I think this is a better buy than the others you looked at. It will be good to see you bring it back to life.

[@BenzAddiction]

@colindavidson4297 Thanks Colin, yes I also think this car deserves some care and not yet junkyard. 👍

[@allanriches9381]

Nice one Max, some good videos coming in soon. I am starting to look for a late 80's W126 420sel to add to the collection.

[@BenzAddiction]

Thanks Allan, great choice. I am taking a break from complexity:) you know what I mean ;)

[@patrick89109]

You are 1 year away from face lifted 1994. The face lifted taillight & headlights should be swappable to your 1993? Nice & rare find !

[@BenzAddiction]

Hi Brian, I believe the facelift happened in 1993 and mine being Feb 93 is probably months away from that. I was thinking about changing the tail lights TBH...
