Thats a nice looking 124 wagon, if its running good I'd buy it and just convert it to rwd if the transfer case ever failed.

Also, why would someone in Florida own/drive a 4matic....in case of wet pavement??? Reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson's "4 wheel drive in case of wet leaves on the road" comment.

how do you convert.... don't you have to switch out drivelines and transmission......

it just had the transmission rebuilt.... so it would not be cost effective..

if you know another way.....that won't cost major bucks... i would be interested in hearing it

the car came to Palm Beach via Beverly Hills...don't know why you would need it in either place.... wagon is very nice

Good one.

The car looks like a good buy.
