...the BEST car ever--period. Cars don't typically rust badly out here on the Left coast, but I would definitely be wary of potential body cancer in the area behind the front fender liners. These areas can accumulate quite a bit of muck and road debris that traps moisture (and salt?). Other than the head and potential evaporator/vacuum pod replacements, these models just seem to fall prey to typical MB stuff (CC amps, ACC re-soldering, speedo-head failure, slow/in-op sunroof, etc.) If you like the price, go for it.

My own #14 head has 278Kmi on it and performs flawlessly. Several others on this list have similar stories. The jack points seem to rust first on this car. That's about it. The 124 TD is about the best car they made in the 80's. Casey Biodiesel: '87 300TD intercooler (205k) '84 300D (201k) Gasser: '89 Vanagon Wolfsburg Edition (184k) Olympia, WA
