Both W115 and W123 are great cars but I like the W123's front end more,less moving parts ( same steering box) and easier to keep in good condition But other than that they are the same car mechanically.
If you keep the Oil changed ,coolant and gear/diff oil maintained the car will reward you with great service for as long as you want it to. A guy here was telling us recently about his family 240TD (station wagon not turbo) which would be loaded with the family and all the stuff for a vacation including a boat on a trailer behind. On the long uphill stretches of the freeway he would down to 30mph in 2nd and the E/flashers on but it never hurt the car.
