The engineers at Mercedes were told to make the best car ever. After, they added 10% to the production costs to get a profit out of it. Get your hands on a decent one, get rust protection, and you have a car for life.
I hope you're gonna take good care of this car, I have inherited one from my dad, and it has now run for about 520000kms, (i have the 300d). If you take enough care of the engine and transmission, everything should be fine for at least 500000kms more ^^ It's such a beast car
1980s- The first diesel in the world evermade 2000- very trusted family car 2010- museum collection 2024- young owner with full restoration and turning built in DPUK pump and 300 hp car for everyday use.😂
Interesting how proud you are of a 30+yr old car. My dad sold it way back in the early 80s. It was a red 200D....replaced with a 60 HP tin can hatch. Oh it was petrol! lol...
@jfv65 i will! :) sure they are the most reliable cars! everything works on it except the brakes and few more mechanicall details needs fixing, but fully driveble! i have a couple vids of ´´rescueing´´ it from where it sat. will be putting up more as time goes :) thanks for your comment!
@apachioara thats amazing! i just bought my first car which is a -83 Mercedes w123 240D! it has run 335000kms and had sat outside for 3 years but fired up in 1 second with new battery! i payed around $70 xD hoping to have it for a long time..
In 1976, it was the fastest Diesel car ever made, with 80 HP ! Despite my fucking poor Deutsch, that was a pleasure to se that Test ! I also want the same for de gasoline version... Quand on pense qu'à l'époque, c'était le Diesel le plus rapide du monde... Malgré mon faible niveau d'allemand, c'est un plaisir de voir ce test. A quand le même pour les versions essence?
Hi! To report I still drive the 240D :) 3 years now and roughly 30000kms since i picked it up still like new mechanicly 6.5L country road, around 7-7,5L average fuel consumption. :) but thinking of getting a second car, still the 240D is about the cheapest and reliable car you can drive! what year is your 300? is it with the new or the old engine?
Wie kann man so ein Auto so früh testen. Der muss doch erstmal mindestens 150 tkm freigefahren werden, bevor er richtig läuft. Klar dass er im Test so langsam war und so viel gesoffen hat.

Ein Konzern auf der Höhe seiner Leistungsfähigkeit - in einer eben solchen Republik. Perfekt!
Gotta love the mighty W123!!I'm on my second one now...wonderful cars! I wish I spoke German so I could understand what he's saying...
reliability is the key points of this car, simply the best car! can easily outlive today's cars.
Perfection manifest!

Uhhh Hello? They sold hunfreds of thousands here in the US.
Beautiful cars, but wish the 240D had a tachometer like every German car !
+Bilal Ahmed "a tachometer like every German car"???
+Matthias Hallmann yes
I am German. Absolutely not every German car has a tachometer. and in that time almost no German car had one!
+Matthias Hallmann I guess for those times, it wasn't really essential, but I can't imagine one without now.
Every Mercedes now has one. But actually I never needed. what for?
you can listen to your engine.
