hey guys, my name is rj and i have only been a member a few days now. i am really interested in learning as much as i can about the w123, w124 and w126 diesels.

Here is kinda the run down on me:
I'm 22 years old, from the Atlantic City NJ area and just graduated from college 2 weeks ago and i am in pursuit of starting my career. I'm married with 2 young children (3yrs and 9months). I install car electronics as my current job and love when these cars come in and i get to work on them.

i am interested in any info you can offer me or info sites on these cars, hard copy reading materials, etc.

also interested in what to look for when buying one of these cars... maybe a detailed check list. common issues, what to check 1st, major and minor things. how many miles is too many? is there a pricing guide for these cars, and so on.

thanks in advance. look forward to learning a lot.

RJ
