I agree, it is a very nice w124 estate but not as refined as a NAM 94-95 estate with HFM and M104. IMHO those are the best wagons I have owned/driven. My DD is 87 300 TD wagon and I drive it hard and it is happy as can be, and giving me 30mpg. We will be seeing many nice examples coming from Japan in the near future. I am not convinced that every classic MB from Japan is a great buy. Being near Vancouver, BC I see many low mileage MB's from Japan and thru my experience about 25% of the cars are questionable as in: abnormal wear on interior, sunburnt paint and interiors, along with questionable odometer readings. W124's of all varieties are 20-30 year old cars, to me it all comes down to "current condition". In the last couple yrs I have seen 2 estate wagons with approx. 65k original miles and both were basket cases, the only part of those cars that were 65k miles were the odometers. Most important items in todays market are - PPI's, condition, service history (nice to have but not a show stopper for a nice example) and the car shows some love and respect. Those are the good ones! Mike
Wonder what the reserve was set at? I’d imagine it was close... :dunno:
