Finally Sold the 124... :(

Only to buy another one! Haha i got a great deal on a 95 e320. I'll tell you it's all silver with black interior. I've swapped the wheels and a few other things as well.

I have some pretty crazy ideas for this one...which I'll share later on

Unfortunately, at the moment I have no camera besides my phone...which, no... But I'll see if I can get a few up here just for an idea. It's nice to be back on the forums again lol

As long as there are real nice / well cared for version of this car out there...selling for a few thousand dollars...124s make a good replacement for 124s.

But I did pick up a basic Passat 4 cyl turbo wagon yesterday to replace our 4matic wagon.

Phone pics are fine for first pass.

What was your old 124?
And why did you sell it only to buy another 124?

I sold it because it was getting boring to me personally. The seats were real dry and very cracked. The paint job was horrible. I could go on.. The other main reason I got rid of her was because I saw this new one at the shop. I might as well of traded cars pretty much. I sold it for 2800$ and only paid 3000$ for this one. Oh, not to mention a lightly used motor with 83k.

Anyways...here's some pictures. I OBVIOUSLY need a new rear bumper...and definitely need to re-spray the front. There's one small ding in the gas tank door...but I can find one cheap enough and spray that. Other than that the car is amazing.

Once I get the interior cleaned up I'll take a few pictures.

I am real partial to the brilliant silver and black interior (my first Cab's colors). Also like the facelift and prefer the m104 to the m103 always.

Yea, I like it alot. And now, in your hands, it is a tabula rasa, a virgin.

Kudos, old car looked good...but this'un has more potential.

Thanks! I love the black interior personally..it's not as hot as I thought it would be either, which is relieving.

The next thing done will definitely be the stereo system. All I'm gonna say is there's local competitions around st. louis and the 124 is a VERY solid car.

Next would be slappin those h&r's under there, then probably when the weather cools down get to work on the paint..

wow that is very clean.. for the $200 you spent hahaha amazing pickup
i miss my old black interior and you have tints.. they make a huge difference..
mmm don't go to crazy on the w124 for sound terms.. gas tank is in the rear seat so you can't really drill into it or anything... and its a mission to get speakers in door panels.. but do update from the crappy paper speakers
also the black grill looks great.. i still gotta do mine haha it reminds me of a w202

In that case set aside abot $1000 for a new one, because the original is shot. Do a search on "wiring harness" on W124 1994-95 and you will see what I mean.
