Those 124s were made by top notch German engineers New Mercedes are made by top notch German accountants.

[@DenisOjok]

I own this exact model. This car was ahead of its time. Exceptional engineering and quality.

[@stevecowart395]

Had a 1995 E300 diesel. Drove until 240,000 miles. Solid as a rock and no rattles or squeaks the day I sold it. Felt incredibly solid.

[@christophercolumbus8944]

how much did it sell for ? how much do you buy for now?

[@MrDelgrigorov]

You do not sell W124 if you have it from new.

[@larsw.2230]

Mercedes should go back to its 80s design and quality. The simple designs have aged gracefully.

[@larswilhelm2209]

Well i LOVE my w124 coupé, but i do like the most new modells also. I think they schould build the new cars as reliable as the old ones.

[@MaximilianvonPinneberg]

Apparently if Mercedes engineered and spent as much on development on the current E as they did on the W124, it would start at €85,000!!!

[@Ivan_Afanasev1974]

[@p.kuansuwan2070]

I’m actually thinking of getting a w124 for my college years. I want a car that is reliable and because I’ll have to come visit my parents once a while and it’s at least a 3-4 hour drive plus, the roads here are terrible, I want a car that is also a bit more comfortable than the mitsubishi I currently have. And because the mitsu should sell for around what a decently maintained w124 would cost, I thought it could be a great replacement for the car. What I’m concerned with though, is the cost maintenance. Can you tell us if it is costly to maintain? Or even better, is it easy to work on ‘cause I think it would be fun fixing my own stuff and it would help me cut down on expenses. Cheers! P.S. Labour here is cheap! (ofc, it is it’s Thailand.) The parts, I have no idea of.

@@jackreacher9452 Don't agree. Already in 1995, with the arrival of the W210, the decline in quality and integrity of engineering began. Oh well, even the W202, launched in 1993, was not as well built as the 190E (which is why I have been driving a 1992 190E as a daily driver for over 8 years now!)

[@DSGNflorian]

As usual, a lot of people comment about how superior the quality of these older Mercedes cars supposedly was and all that sentimental stuff. Few seem to want to remember that it was especially this series, the W 124, that really damaged the Mercedes reputation for quality. In fact, in Germany, where traditionally most taxi cabs are Mercedes Diesels (precisely because of their legendary durability and economy), taxi drivers staged protest rallies in Stuttgart to draw nationwide attention to the quality problems of their new W 124 cars and the inadequate way Mercedes Benz addressed them.These vehicles had a host of quality issues, from electrical gremlins to suspension problems. Most famously, the cars had a tendency to develop driveline lash and buck like a wild horse at a rodeo, a phenomenon soon dubbed "The Bonanza Effect" after the classic 60s Western TV show. In the interest of damping out powertrain vibration and noise, Mercedes had given these cars super soft bushings and mounts which magnified movements in the driveline. Those complex 5-link rear suspensions were notorious for wearing out their bushings prematurely, causing sloppy handling and a noisy ride. Reliability was also not exactly up to previous standards, especially in the versions with high performance engines. The W 124 was a thoroughly modern and technologically advanced car, but it was far from perfect.

[@stevel9914]

I don't deny what you state, but it was still well engineered and I can only assume that the issues were ironed (except for the hopeless wiring insulation on 280 and 320 models of 92 -94 - ask me I know) Generally speaking I think the 124 is well engineered, my SAAB 900 is as well, However the main thing people forget is the massive difference in cost. My w124 estate cost £54000 in 1993 ... this would get you a near top of the range e class today with a lot more gadgets. Something has given somewhere as 1993 money would be closer to £150k today.

[@Rimrock300]

that might be so. but I just love the lines of the w124, it's so timeless and beautiful clean design. Quite reliable and easy to maintain compared to newer models. I look and look at the w123's, but the design is just soooo boring compared to the 124. But that's just me. Thanks to all the ones taking care of the 123 classics. I've lucky to own a 124 estate 300 turbo diesel. hope to use it as a daily driver the next 25 years too.
