Stevebfl......you have helped me immensely regarding my W140 and I respect your opinion greatly. So.....you wrote: [Generally speaking I think the 124 body is the last of the good DIY cars.]. I own the original year '86 124 and it needs about $1500 to get it to be perfect (exhaust and blower motor). It has 202,000 miles on it but runs like a champ and uses/loses no oil whatsoever. My question is....should I invest the money in an 18 year old car or am I throwing good money after bad?
