Plus, how much engine do you really need. I just love my e320 with the 104. 104 is such a smooth engine..and it has plenty of power.
Let's face it , minus the engine options... a 124 is a 124. Just a great car.

The upkeep isn't bad at all. I've found the m119s seem to be more complex yet more durable than the 6cyl cars. No head gasket issues, no leaks, just an extra coil or distributor cap if they fail. And, they run like bats straight out of fiery hell and sound great....

This quote should be placed in the stickies.....it's the golden rule for all potential Benz purchases....
