Ive been thinking about it also,Not a good car for me.I like everything in good working order.I already spent a grip on the car without even doing anything major.Shes running pretty good now....But Im always thinking of that knock out blow that could happen at anytime though.
I almost feel like im stuck in her now because of all the money.I would hate sell now for someone else to reap all the benefits of my wallet.But now is a good time to sell while she runnin decent.

The way I see it, there is one reason to buy a W124. Quality! It has a feel on the road that no other car has. As a back yard mechanic and owner of over 50 cars in my lifetime, I have worked on everything from Fiat (Fix It Again, Tony) to Volvo, and all the domestics as well. I can say with confidence that the W124 is built better, engineered better, and is more solid than any other car I know of. Some people apparently don't care about quality anymore. Almost all of the new "luxury" cars I have seen are loaded to the sky with electronics and entertainment crap but are built like everything else underneath. The only exeption I am aware of at this time is BMW. I personally would rather drive a car that is an engineering masterpiece but has vinyl seats and crank windows than a Cadillac that is loaded with stuff but built like a Chevy. The E-class might not impress bystanders but it impresses the hell out of me ever time I touch it or even just look under the hood.
