Ok, it took some time, but I am now the proud owner of my first 124. A white 93 300d 2.5.

Amazing car. Light years ahead of Strider. I bought it from an indy who is warrantying it. It's in the shop now for some things and I hope to get it Monday. If this indy is really doing what he says, I'll report back. It would be amazing if he really is doing all this work on a used car sale.

One car had to go, so the 82 white 300SD has a new home now. Back to only two MB's.

I'm sure I'll have lots of questions about this car in the future and I don't think I would have bougt it if not for this forum.
