I've had the front end rebuilt and the starter and ignition switch repaced since I bought it about 2 years ago.
My current issue is the preglow relay. It gets stuck closed on occassion and it doesn't light the glowplug indicator in the dash (bulb is fine) so if I don't catch it and disconnect It'll run the battery down. I need to replace it but the dang thing costs $270 new so I've been trying to find a used one but no luck so far. Oh yeah, the windshield and back window seals leak.
It's spent it's entire life here in the Atlanta area (I'm the 3rd owner) and the body and paint are in pretty good condition.
Now, I like the 124 300D (Wife's car) and it is fun to drive. Much quicker than it's older brother but I love the 116 and to me it has the quintessential Mercedes look and feel.
