    I daily a 1992 W124 250D myself. Been in my family since 2004. Learned how to drive in it and grew up with it, passed down from my grandpa, to my dad, and in 2020 I eventually took over it. It literally never dies. The biggest issue I have with it is the rust - Norwegian roads are salted like no tomorrow. I'm doing my best to take care of it though, and one day pass it down to my own children.

    I've had six W124's years ago. Amazing cars that never ever let me down. The one in best shape was a -90 200D with 350 000km on it. It was beautiful. The most "experienced" one was an -87 250D with almost 900 000km. The chassis rusted away on that one.

    This, is a thing of beauty. One of the iconic cars that MB ever made. This needs to be re-made and redone and would be an amazing restoration project - to being this beauty alive in its pristine glory. These cars were made for a lifetime, literally and would last for 50 years minimum. Its engine sounds so pure and majestic, music to the ears. To drive this classic, would be a honour in itself.. W124's were the best sedan cars ever built.

    A car from '88, dormant since '04, and just now back on the road. Quite amazing!

    In addition to durability, the approach to building a vehicle like a machine that lasts forever and the wear parts are easy to replace, the W124 is simply beautiful.

    You were thorough showing what you were doing and why. Loved how you did that.

    Best car in the world. I love W124. It's been 11 years since I got my 1989 200E. Nice movies. Greetings from Poland.

    Wow, that model is so silent inside. Even the chirping belt was barely audible. Liked your video.

    The simplicity this car has means that with a bit of will anyone could make it last a whole life.

    There is an acquaintance who brought a 300D to Brazil, but he brought it in the 90's driving from the USA to Chile and then passing through Argentina and arriving in Brazil (Rio de Janeiro). He still has the car to this day.

    I bought 1988 200D, done 197000km. It's like new. I'll keep it rest of my life. I bought it from Berlin and drive it to Finland. Only one 2 owners car. First 1 year owner. It's legendary car w124.
