The 60x engines in the W124 cars are smoother, quieter, and more powerful than the 61x engines in the W123 cars. In a 123, the noise and vibration never lets you forget that you're in a diesel (and some people like it that way).

As an owner of a 123 and a 124 (and a 210), I find it interesting that I'm selling my 123 and keeping the 124, even though the 123 is in better shape and worth more.

I'd like to keep the 123 just for fun but don't have storage space for three cars and hate to leave one car out in the weather. The 124 is so much more enjoyable to drive.
