See here:

Mercedes-Benz W124 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mercedes-Benz W126 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In a nutshell:

W124 is a midrange model (E class)
W126 is a top range model (S class)

In Japanese speak: Corolla = W124, Camry = W126

ok sir, e sa mga e-class model po, ano ang pinaka reliable model?

mas ok ba ang e-class kesa sa c-class?

If you're going the E class route, mas okay pa rin ang W124 compared to the later model round eyed W210. As for the C class the W202, its also a good car, had one before but the back seats is kinda tight. Now that you mentioned the W126, those are among my favorite Benz, actually I own 2 W126's at the moment, a 1990 260SE and a 1981 300SD

My Dad used to go to a shop called Constellation. But that was back in the 90s. I dunno if it's still in business

Yung iba dyan maybe sarado na, Bee Benz for one closed already (I think). This list is a combination of shops and auto supply's specializing in Benz spareparts.

I never bring my "old" cars to CATS, as I perform almost all of the mechanical repairs myself. I also have a friend-mechanic, which is my main go-to guy when I'm about to tackle first time repairs.

Have you decided on what MB to buy yet?
