If you are not familar with Benz diesels and W123s, then read any and all posts about these great cars. How much was this dealer asking for the car? Also, how many miles? Just because th ecar had been on the lot for a long time, may or may not indicate something. I know alot of people who would never think about buying a 20 year old car with over 150,000 miles. I have learned through ownership of these "old" cars, that these cars still have plenty of life left in them. Now, there could be something wrong with that TD, or people don't realize what they are passing up.
