Thanks man, the expenses seems legit. Will try to find 1 w201/w124 to fulfill my childhood dream  drool.gif

Yes, you should. Then you'll realise what "over engineered" means. I wish the driver's side wing mirror were bigger, as there is a lot of blind spot.

However, be prepared to suffer a bit, as the car is old and you should expect the maladies of old age.

Expect the power of 1.5NA with FC of 2.5TC engine if you opt for the M102 2L petrol engine. And the 4-speeder auto defaults to 2nd gear when moving from stationary unless you manipulate the gear lever (D>P>L>D, iirc) or you floor the accelerator pedal (literally flooring it).

if you opt for latter model.. like 1992 and above.. it start from 1st gear with addition of ABS.. and electronic ignition timing with knock sensor.. however more electronic, can translate to more headache..

Also the latter model were equipped with biodegradable wiring harness, same like he W124 Multivalve engine version (E200, E220 masterpeice)...

Not quite accurate. There are post-92 models with ABS which 4-speed auto starts from 2nd gear.

Was I very agitated? I don't think so. Anyway, I was referring to W124.
