Car is very solid and comfortable to be doing long drives at high speeds on the freeway. Parts are expensive even at mechanics prices, so don't buy one if you can't afford to fix it; because the cars are getting older and will start needing parts replaced.

Third Owner, purchased in June of '09 with 88,600 Miles Records dating back to '91. From the post delivery inspection by the dealer prior to sale to the misc. part replacements to this date, no stone is unturned on this vehicle. 3.0 Liter Inline 6, Automatic 4 speed transmission sedan. ~180 HP--~200 ft/lb of torque. car cruises seamlessly and moves when it needs to. Incorporating the Sportline suspension options would make the car track worthy. Anticipate around $1,000 a year to properly maintain a W124. Styling is timeless, comes standard with any the aged Mercedes. A simple walk around the vehicle, not even operating it, reveals a quality built vehicle with every detail having a purpose that will last for decades. Take care of the vehicle and it will take care of you. Washed and Waxed on a weekly basis, the car is serviced and tended to in an anticipating fashion. Modifications: -Early C-Class Polished 15" 8-Holed rims -Euro Amber Corners -Euro Headlights -Euro Wiper Assemblies and Valance Panels -JVC Mp3 Unit Couldn't be happier with this stately sedan and am looking forward to the years of ownership to come.

i bought this cr in 2002 and i was amazed by a car which has been built 10 years earlier. Performance, technology and luxury.a car that can be used in all occasions. it was the first car i owned and my first best experience.

I fell in love with these in the late 80's (new in the U.S. in '86) and was happy to find one in good shape with few miles. Fifteen years on and the build quality puts many new cars to shame. I wish it had the 3.0 liter engine as the mpg gain for the 2.6 isn't great. At least the 2.6 is known for being more durable.

Its a diesel, so its a little sluggish off the line, braking and handling are decent but keep in mind that this is a very heavy car. Its comfortable to drive, and it looks good. Relatively cheap to maintain, except it likes big repairs. It blew 2 head gaskets in 1 year, and this mercedes diesel is known for bending connecting rods. I'm at 300k, and still going, but you never know.
