  The designers and engineers of the W124, if gone, must be in heaven right now. A timeless marvel of engineering. They still turn heads until today.

  The W124 is the epitome of excellence in mechanical auto engineering. There's just no other car like it. I'm glad to still own one😉

  Reliable, drivable and comfortable without gimmicks and complicated gadgets. That's all I want.

  The last true E class ever built, the last true benz ever built is the W140. It was a billion dollar project since there was no price constraint. And it was made till 99 unlike the W124 ending at 97. So that makes the W140 the last true benz made to last forever. W123,W124 and W140 will forever be remembered as the best benzes ever made.

  Everything about the W124 model was a compliment to the W123 and more, both models are what we call world cars and lifetime cars......keep rolling

  I have driven my 230E sedan from Malaysia to Thailand and back Kuala Lumpur and then to Singapore in the same week without any glitch or service. Then it got submerged in big flood in end of 2021 (11 feet flood). It was part of restoration but become revival project. It still going strong but with minor issue of misfiring. Will still keep it and repair it, and if possible will try to restore back to mint condition. The W124 is respectable car. It just simple mechanical and human connection mobility. I love it. Unlike todays car that have no souls, all electronics disturbance.

  The W124 is an indestructible car. It copes with the terrible roads in Ghana pretty well. I haven’t owned one, but I’ve sat in several, and enjoyed the comfortable ride.

  Fun fact. In Italy the w124 was called "il duecento" (trans. "The Two hundred"). This because back in the 90s the vast majority of Benzes in Italy were 190. Almost all the w124s in the market were the ones with small engines, the 200, the 230. The 280 was for rich people eheheh. That's why was commonly called "il duecento". Wonderful piece of engineering. Thanks Bruno Sacco for making history even with this model.

  Including W123 ,W124 if the last great Mercedes and the Eternal W140 the glory of all Mercedes .After that Mercedes made heavily electronics filled cars with very   high repair cost as opposed to affordability pre 1994 era Mercedes.For this reason many stayed with their Japanese brands even if they were able to afford Mercedes or BMW .
