The W124 E-Class is suddenly everywhere - It´s "The Return of the (Taxi)-King"

[@danialk8387]

Mercedes W 123 and 124 are stunningly beautiful cars. Yes you are correct. BEST OR NOTHING. Good video.

Thanks a lot, I am honoured by Your comment!

[@peterjanvanbijnen226]

the w124 is the last mercedes to last 1 million km.

[@rademilosevic4944]

I drive W124 can confirm that I see quite more of them nowadays. When I´m in Belgrade I see at least 1-2 every day, also a lot more of all big three models from the 90s. And yes they are all in pretty good condition

I own W124 260E and I’m from Malaysia. Still going strong

[@sannyfolkesson2226]

One thing I can speak for: in Sweden when a car gets 30 years old, it will be exempt from tax, no matter the fuel type, that makes the BMW, Mercedes and Volvos very desirable over here, mainly Mercedes and Volvos purely for these aspects: legendary build quality and reliability, high safety ratings and easy to service and operate Because of this tax system I own a BMW e38 (and hunting for a facelift W124 disel) as I know the value will peak when it passes 30 years here, often people start to collect cars that are 20-25 years old and wait till they become tax free, seeing that as a long term investment.

Incredible, thats literally valuable insight. THANKS!

In Turkish youtube we see Turks from Germany bring their W124s to get refurbished in Turkiye then they drive them back. Opposite of planned obsolescence, these cars represent the German engineering excellence in many peoples eyes so no wonder they are getting more popular.

Iscilik beles burda 🙃

The problem with all those car is that they are getting very old ... Just like my w202 they are really nice but everything can go wrong unexpectedly 😢.... I wish they were still making cars like this new!

[@andreas7937]

Sehr gut!

[@ThisCarChannel]

Amazing, I didnt know that. This explains a lot. Thanks for this valuable insight!!!

[@Abos600]

I like in Los Angeles and i daily see 124, but even more 126 and 107s

[@ThisCarChannel]

That is unexpected... did not know these are so numerous there!

[@realdanksta2237]

I've seen more and more vehicles of this era appear. A lot of e46s and e39s.

[@a.y5742]

Talked to a work colleague who fixes cars for a hobby, especially benzes. He says the after market for the 124 is good. Your comparison to the e39 is a little off, isnt it? The w210 was the competitor, no?

[@288gto7]

Yes , w124 competed against e28 and e34 not 39

[@ThisCarChannel]

Thanks for the info... I have to be a bit more precice in my next video!

[@daniel.muntean]

You mean, now they're not only in the Eastern European countries?

[@ThisCarChannel]
