A late model 124 (90's) will cost almost as much as a W202... so hard to choose yan. I like the 124 body design a lot since it doesnt seem to age. Pero malayo talaga pricing ng 123 sa 124, it's like comparing a Corolla GL (16 balb hehe) to an altis in terms of age gap since mga 6-8 years bago nagphaphase out yung lumang Benzes.

You'll also have to consider whether your getting a carb or injected variant sa 124, with injected na may computer box na, mahirap trouble shooting and computer diagnosis can get expensive. So are electrical sensors.

It really boils down to your budget. Like what Otep said, lumang cars yan, Japanese or Euro, pag over 5 years, madami nadin DUE FOR REPLACEMENT. So kahit maalaga yung owner, sayo padin babagsak ang mga REQUIRED replacement of parts.

If you have the budget and have a 2nd backup car to use if the car fails, then I'd say go for a more "modern" late model 124... If you just wanna go german and willing ka to accept that it can become a very nice "old school classic" project car na pwedeng daily driver, mag 123 ka.

Pound for pound, though, I think mas sulit ang 123, not because I have one, but makes more sense lang unless you're have the budget to get things fixed.

I still drool over a 124 wagon if I see one hehe, especially with AMG monoblocks on them.

Guys just been to some test drive yesterday and saw some w123 but sideline to w126 300SD.

Is w126 300SD a turbo diesel??

What can you guys say about the w126 since it's as old as w123 and is parts easy to find for the w126? is w126 as durable and as work horse like the w123?

well.. nasagot ko na to sa kabilang board (malamang ikaw nga yung nagpost dun.. eheheh)

if you can.. get an SDL... i've heard that the engine is better than those 82 SDs... first hand experience?.. i dont have any.. but i always drool when i see an SD.. eheheh.....

now. if yung 124 eh tulad ng pinost ni hens.. medyo magiisip na ako.. eheh. grabe.. ang ganda!.. but then again.. get a 123 sedan.. black.. with ivory interior.. get it detailed.. put in a set of lorinser d93s.. bring it down a little bit.. then i'm all set.. ahihih.. di ba theveed?.. ehehehe

W123 & W126..wala ka ng gastos!..ok lang kung stock!
pero sa W124...daming mods.;) magastos!! :D

Turbo diesel ang 300SD. Same engine as the 300D with the addition of the turbo lang.

Yung mga SDL ata six cylinder na.

Ok ang makina niyan. Halos match ng mga piyesa ng MB100. Nung nasira yung alternator ng W126 yung sa MB100 na ipinalit namin. Mas high capacity.

Properly maintained, no one will think a W126 is old. Dami pa din nagrerequest sa W126 namin for formal ocassions like weddings and stuff.
