Hey John-

What do you mean you used to have a '69 Squareback??? I'll be getting to it soon... I promise.

I'm a W123 fan. We've had our 1985 300TD-T for over ten years and put 150K on it. It had 130K when we got it. I've probably put $3K in it in all those years including batteries and tires. But then, I do all my own work. They're not difficult, but they ARE labor intensive... and don't you dare cut corners!

We just sold it for little less than twice what we paid in 2002 and are graduating to a W211. The W124s just never appealed to me.

We should start a Samba Refugee club over here- Hazetguy, The Don, Ghoti, and a few others are here too. In fact, Hazet got himself a W123 wagon last year, and is now whoring Fintails.
