Hi all W123 owners, and other MB-Fans..

If you happen to have a W123, why don't you tell us a bit bout your ride. It'd be great if you could post pictures as well.

These cars are one of my favorite cars in the world. Most people laugh when I say I'd take a 280E/300D (mint) over a Lancer EVOVII or Subaru WRX...

I'm starting college soon as a freshman and hopefully I can save up enough cash to get myself a W123.. be it 300D Turbo, 280E or 240D.

One question, why is it that I don't see soo many 280E's in the USA? Is it because they are very fuel inefficient? How's its fuel consumption like?

I never heard of 300D til I started my search into ebay.com

In Indonesia... those who drive W123, drive the 280E.. with 18" Brabus rims, etc.. one was selling for about US$14,000!!
'84 280E Auto, 18" Brabus rims, Full Leather interior (really nice and classy), etc. etc.

If I could get a 300D, I'd love to have it in Diamond Blue, probably repaint it... because last time my dad had an '82 280E... which was sold away for a W124 230E from '92. Yeah, sure now that i'm the one taking care of the W124, I love it very much (Especially since it's also finished in Diamond Blue), but I wish they hadn't sold that 280E...
it was sold cuz it started givin out minor bearing problems..... but nothing but that.. bummer..

Anyway, get the posts going..
