Still driving mine.

Just turned 70,000 miles. Took a sweet road trip last April (20th Anniversary) to Napa, the Willamette Valley in Oregon and Walla Walla in south east Washington. Wine tour. Outstanding. Car was awesome. Put about 3,000 miles on the odo.

Changed out the rotors and caps before the trip. No brainer thanks to the DYI section here. If you haven’t done this, do it soon. Averaged over 26 mpg on the trip and from Roseburg, Oregon to Northern Cali we averaged almost 40 mpg.

Haven’t done the upgrades as cash has been used to finish house remodel.

Ciao for now

Albert, I love your car!!!


I would love a set of new fenders.... I have been looking at the progress of your CF mods, and I must say I am very impressed!!! Those huge flares for the back of the 124 are going to be awesome!

1997 E420 71K Miles

Just traded in my '92 300E for an ebay '97 E420. My 300E had 190K miles but the engine purred so sweetly that until I read on this forum that this was status quo, I thought it was a rebuilt or new engine.

Anyway the E420 is like riding on a turbo-ised magic carpet. My kids love the stylized look of the 420 where they disliked the 300. I've yet to really open her up on the highway, but from what I've experienced so far, I like the W124 ride better than the W210.

I still haven't changed my point of view that I'd much rather buy a 9 year old Mercedez than a new US or Japanese (with the exception of the Maxima).

1992 400E 100,000 miles.

Got it May 1st in exchange for a gold coin collection. No ASR (thank goodness), no optional passenger airbag (more storage space!) Spent the last two months cleaning it up, changed all fluids, new springs, wheels, tires, ECU chip. Installed keyless entry & selectable 1st/2nd gear start. Changed steering wheel & shift knob; knob now says "V8". Retrofitted OEM HID projectors from an ML320. I think I'm almost done now : )

My wife-to-be bought a 1989 260E. She totaled it in under a year...doing 40 mph into the back of a pickup while searching for her cell phone on the passenger's floor. Seatbelt definately saved her life.

So I bought her a 93 400E. I am currently squatting with the excuse of my long commute. I plan on swapping in a 2.82 diff when I get a free moment.
