Having two W124's is the way to go so that if one is down for repair then you have a second ready to get you to work the next morning. I have had my 300E for six months and the 300TE for three and on just the purchase price I'm ahead of having a car payment. |
Ha Ha.
One thing I have learned about having a 25+ year old Mercedes (300CE) as a daily driver is that one car leads to two. The Red Baron in the garage and the daily driver late model leased car living out in the elements.
Don't think the Benz left the garage more than 4 times from Jan to April. What a lousy winter!
Making up for it now tho...
Knowing what know now, I sure wouldn't buy a 25 yr old W124 with the mileage mine has (137,500), if it didn't have service records.
To the OP: One thing that might come out of left field is ignition failure. As in the key won't turn the ignition.If you ever start having trouble with the key turning in the ignition, ignore it at your peril and expense. Cost me 900.00 at the dealer. 5+ hour job. The service mgr. told me that it's not that uncommon on early 124s.
