Great car. I always liked the older, more professional, looking German sedans.

Congratulations! That's a strapping specimen of a W124! Definitely one of the best Mercedes ever designed/made.
They sure don't make them like they used to. |

Firstly - congratulations
I'm sure your thrilled As you probably can assume - I love it, good choice!It looks in pretty good condition as well, inside and out. That colour will be a bitch to maintain but very rewarding if you do so ![]() That interior looks fairly well equipped with electric windows, sunroof and seats....nice How does it perform? I'll assume its not a beast to drive but it would have that 'rock solid' feel to it right? You really need to work the throttle on those old MB's to get as much performance out of it due to their long throttles, but luckily, MB do the best auto-boxes in the business so that'll help you along the way. My only niggle is you replaced the original HU in favour of something new. I really dislike seeing new and flashy MP3 thingy's in an old car. They look so out of place but I'm sure you had your reasons for it. p.s. - nice laid back driving position You pimp in ur black MB...enjoy mate!

Congratulations! I'm seriously jealous! That car looks brand new with that shine and near-perfect interior. I'm amazed you found one with such low miles and one of the last great Mercedes-Benz ever made in my book.
Can I borrow your car?

Wow, very nice. You've actually inspired me to look at those, and 190s. They seem to go for pretty cheap, good stuff!

Lexus? Oh shi-

That's awesome! It looks so clean inside and out.
I grew up with one of these so I have a soft spot for them... ours was a '89, manual, and a medium shade of gold. I think black looks better.

Great car Justin! Those old MBs are great for comfortable cruising, and the 1980s/1990s models are also renowned for their great handling due to their multilink rear axles (introduced in the 190 afaik). Combined with bulletproof technology, it's an almost unbeatable combination.
Had any wet roads yet? (RWD sedan + wet roads + big torque = big fun )Well i have a manual 190E. I guess that answers your question.

I think the Euro Front headlamps are better looking IMHO - if they are legal in the US (and why not the rest of the world get by with them without loads of dead MB owners littering the sidewalk) an option would be to fit them.
