I chose the W124 wagon over the W210, even though I ended up paying more for the W124 than some of the w210 I looked at....

So far, I do like the W211 series, but the W210 kwality is lacking in opinion, compared to the W124s.

The W211 seems to be doing better, so far, but it IS a much more complex car. My brother's W211 requires a computer to reset the car when the brakes are replaced, for example. It appears the DIY guy is going to have to invest in some expensive tools to maintian one!
