It’s so annoying because, as you say, 8 more years this lovely old car becomes a historic vehicle and is fully ULEZ exempt at that point 🤬🤬🤬 Absolutely right it’s a complete scam!

Owning a 1990 W201, I’m not going to argue with you. They’re not dynamic or possess brilliant handling but they just do everything so well with simple mechanics and brilliant build.. for the MB brand they may never be bettered!

Great car i agree however the chassis is amazing . senna famously raced the 190e 2.3-16 . his pace was due to the fluid chassis. I have owned several 2.5-16's and still drive one. Great cars!

The 200 was a bit of a donkey, I remember driving one and there would be a lag when you pressed the pedal before it actually took off. But still a classic and you can enjoy the build quality and ride
@phillipevans94145 күн бұрын
They all did that thanks to Mercedes (in)famous "long travel throttle pedal" of this era, even the '94 E320 I drove felt sluggish off the line because of that in comparison to other makes (having come straight out of a Honda Accord). You do get used to it in time though. Cheers!

Nice car! I've had 3 W124's over the last 20 years, currently have a '92 300E-24 and I think they are fabulous motors. One of the best 'modern' classics out there.

Surely, there must be a method of reducing the NOx level to meet LEZ/Euro 4 compliance? Catalytic converter plus ECU upgrade?

Hmmm...when I think of a W124 I dont think of the 200E or E200! 😂. The 200 especially in auto is a dog!! Once up to speed, it goes ok. But stop-start isn't good.

Tell us you don’t understand ULEZ. Almost any petrol car from 2001 onwards is compliant. If your car wasn’t compliant you could get £2000 for your car. More than enough to buy a ULEZ compliant car.
@matterofapinion6 күн бұрын
My 2002 Range Rover 4.4 wasn't. That was a ULEZ rescue. A colleague has an X350 that isn't, too.
