As I have mentioned in some of the other posts, My wife's 90 Caddy is DOA. 197K on an engine that was only engineered for 100K is not bad though. It has been determined that the timing chain/gears finally gave up the ghost and that the car is not worth repairing as it has other issues as well. We have been looking around for a mid 80's W123. (Diesel Of Course). What should I look for and be concerned with on these cars? So far I am happy with my 76 W115, even though it needs some TLC, which I am applying as I drive it. (Necessary since we are down to two operating autos). I want something that is reliable that I can feel good about her driving on a daily basis when I am out on one of my trips. It's rather difficult to call repair shops and manage a repair from Germany, not to mention expsive.
