What do you think of the 1994 MB E220 - W124?

What do you think of the 1994 MB E220 - W124? May nakita kse ako na naka-garahe lang at di ginagamit eh. Type ko sya! :inlove:

Here's the photo:

Ok, ganito kse yan: this car is one of the cars of this office. But this particular car eh naka-garahe lang, as shown in the picture.

What I have in mind is to talk to the procurement office and inquire if they have plans of disposing this car, is so, ako na lang kukuha. (sana wag na bidding! hehehe!)

Anyway, upon checking (outside lang), sira yung front bumber (needs replacement), manipis na yung tires (also needs replacement) and the interior just needs TLC with detailing. Add tint, ICE and rims, ok na to! I forgot to look if it's a Manual or Auto transmission (umuulan kse eh).

What do you guys think? sir mbeige?

The tires and bumpers in the pictured E220 are different from the W124 E-class series. Verify if this is really a 1994 model. Maybe they just changed the badge to an E220, it might be a 230E or 200E.

The W124 is a very solid car, parts are plenty and prices are fair. Handling and performance is very good. You need to own a German car to know why it deserves it's reputation.

Car definitely looks like an updated W124 with the hood star on the hood and not on the grille anymore. Things to check with 1994-5 model year W124's are

A/C evaporator
Wiring harness
Auxiliary cooling fan issues

And as with quite a number of MB's already especially back there, check if it's a true 1994 model. The pictures show that it does look like one, but we all know that owners of lower spec models tend to update their cars to look more modern. Check the VIN, it should match all body panels. There is a VIN behind the license plate at the back as well. The VIN on the body panels should match the VIN at the A pillar, driver side (or was it at the dashboard already?), the VIN at the radiator support tag, the VIN at the firewall, and the VIN at the driver door jamb.

I checked the plate via LTO Text, it said: 1994 M-Benz 200E. However, it the badge says "E 220". I'm confused. Thanks!

Ok, I'll check it when I get the time. Thanks!

If that is the case, then the unit might be a 200E with an E220 badge. Best to check the VIN and verify it on the VIN decoder at Mercedes Benz Club Russia to be sure. http://old.mbclub.ru/mb/vin/?lng=eng

Excellent advice here.

Wow! Nice! Thanks!!

I found this:

"European/World market cars use a different system for encoding VIN numbers."

The W124 you are looking at looks to be of European origin, meaning it's not a US version so the VIN site you linked to won't help there. Knowing the VIN will tell you if it's US or European model.

I did a sample run, position 5 states that if it's B then it's a long body (limousine). Mine is WDBAB33A... but mine is a sedan not a limo.

Find the VIN of the car (make sure it's also consistent with the rest of the VIN numbers) and check out the details on the MB Russian VIN Decoder.

Ibang klase ka talaga when it comes to an MB!

I haven't checked the unit yet lately. I will when I find time. Thanks again sir!

Looks like a 200E to me (brother ng 260E).


Iba na ang panels ng E220 eh.

Really? What's the difference? Kse, according sa LTO Text, 1994 200E sya pero yung emblems says E220.

[mbeige]

I just realized, if it's a 1994 then the letter should go before the number. As in E220, E320, E420, etc.

I don't know why it's a 200E, that's for 1993 terminology until the beginning of the W124, which is in 1985-6.

Basically, W124's are called NNNL where N = number and L = letter up until 1993. In 1994 and 1995 the sequence was reversed, making the letter go first.

A 200E would have a 2.0L inline 4 engine with code, M102
An E220 would have a 2.2L inline 4 engine with code, M111

OT: Hey Pat, nandito na ulit ako... hehehe...

Welcome back Francis malapit na New Year, paputok ulet (sorry OT)

[afrasay]

Don't believe what's in the LTO registration. Yun sakin 220E pero 230E sa rehistro. Mayrun 200E, euro version ito. Iba ang displacement stage ng euro sa american version like 200E, 220E, 250E (euro), sa american 230E, 260E 300E. Basically pareho lang interior ng E220 sa 220E na 124. Sa exterior yun hood star placement, headlamps. signal and yun trunk ang naiba. see if M111 na ang engine ito yun intake tube na naka crossover sa cylinder head. Good luck on your purchase mag member ka ng mbclub for your technical needs.
