My next choice would probably be a 98 or 99 w210 followed by the w124 2.5turbo as it doesn't have any of teh head issues that the 3.0 had.

My 85 w123 300TDT has an airbag factory...
Both my 85 w123 and my 87 w124 are daily drivers. I like them both for different reasons. If I could only have one it would be the W123. The W124 is faster, gets better MPG, is more comfortable (mines face lifted to a 94 inside and out) Wife likes it better of the too. But there is something about the w123 that just makes me smile every-time I drive it. Also, I see a lot of the w124 out there, but I rairly see another w123 wagon... It also stands out in a parking lot... never loose your car! The w123 is also the car that if I had the fund, I would have fully restored.
