I often wonder what does these cars in. I see undamaged W123s all the time in scrap yards, and I hesistate to invest in any drive train parts. I did get lucky with a 2.88 rear end from an otherwise undamaged 300D, but I also bought the turbo, and it doesn't spin very well. I suppose a bad turbo could send a car to the heap, just because of the repair cost.

A T-boned W116 I saw this past weekend was already missing the entire driveline.
