One thing you forgot to tell was how much you wanted to spend? or how much your willing to spear (working on the car).

Not wanting to be bias but I had the choice between two good looking MB'S (240 8? and 300CD 82). The choice was clear when I drove the 240....I took the 300CD for $6000 CAN (that's spare change for you guys...)

The acceleration is adequate and I don't necessarily slow the traffic at lights...

w123 are nice models and great car..
