How many miles are on your 124 diesel?
I recently bought a '95 E300D with 99K on it. Manufactured 7/94, I think it has the redesigned timing chain, although I don't know how to tell for sure. Good maintenance records and a strong low-smoke engine and smooth tranny. AC evaporator replaced at 60K and engine mounts at 90K. Brakes and such; other than that just routine maintenance. (I'm considering replacing the chain at the 120K service anyway.)
I've been a little concerned about some discussion that the newer Mercedes diesels don't seem as reliable as the older 70's and 80's models. I would like to hear from some 90's 124 model owners. It would do my heart good to hear some 200K and higher reports. How about it?
