We all agree the newer than w124 mercedes are not worthy of a hold position, nor will they be found in operable condition to qualify for classic/vintage licensing. I really miss owning cars that are not bogged down with toys, blinking lights, more computing power than an old Packard Bell fro

Agreed! 123s look better. 124s don't look bad, they just look more modern.  The modern look started with the W126.  No other car designed in the 70s from any maker has the modern look.   126 and 124s still look 'in" style.  I'd rather drive a 126 or 123 for long distances, but a 124 is ok.   12

I don’t think the W124 cabrios will ever attain significant values. There aren’t that many of them and they’re sort of weird as far as styling and looks. I’m not criticizing, I just don’t think they’re unique or good looking enough to ever command big bucks. -D > On Jan 29, 2020, at 12:12 PM,

well, from 1970 or before, until about 20 years ago when the 240D and 123 300Ds started to age out, ANY running Mercedes Diesel that was not rusted away or crunched was worth at least $5000 on the private sale market.    The glut of 81-84 Diesels, purchased after the second "oel crisis" came on
