The designers and engineers of the W124, if gone, must be in heaven right now. A timeless marvel of engineering. They still turn heads until today.

The W124 is the epitome of excellence in mechanical auto engineering. There's just no other car like it. I'm glad to still own one😉

[kevin-haggerty]

One of the greatest cars ever made. Nothing and i mean nothing beats this era of Benz

[zpetar]

Reliable, drivable and comfortable without gimmicks and complicated gadgets. That's all I want.

[junkyarddawgfixit]

Everything about the W124 model was a compliment to the W123 and more, both models are what we call world cars and lifetime rolling

[detonater]

The last true E class ever built, the last true benz ever built is the W140. It was a billion dollar project since there was no price constraint. And it was made till 99 unlike the W124 ending at 97. So that makes the W140 the last true benz made to last forever. W123, W124 and W140 will forever be remembered as the best benzes ever made.

This is what real sustainability looks like!

I have driven my 230E sedan from Malaysia to Thailand and back Kuala Lumpur and then to Singapore in the same week without any glitch or service. Then it got submerged in big flood in end of 2021 (11 feet flood). It was part of restoration but become revival project. It still going strong but with minor issue of misfiring. Will still keep it and repair it, and if possible will try to restore back to mint condition. The W124 is respectable car. It just simple mechanical and human connection mobility. I love it. Unlike todays car that have no souls, all electronics disturbance.

The W124 is an indestructible car. It copes with the terrible roads in Ghana pretty well. I haven’t owned one, but I’ve sat in several, and enjoyed the comfortable ride.

[ericwambua]

I've always wanted the Mercedes Benz W124 as my first car. That's something one doesn't forget.

[aronyngvason]

I have been rebuilding a 1991 Mercedes Benz W124 with my grandfather for some years now. He gave me the car for Christmas present and it is the best car in the whole worlds. Where I live we drive on the left side of the road and the car is a right hand drive which makes it even more special.

[axellludvic]

I really like the w124 and w140 of this era in the Mercedes Benz line up, simple yet classy design.

[TheBieberblaster]

It’s unanimously agreed amongst all car enthusiasts that, this is probably the best car ever made.

[danielvieyra]

I have one. W124 Coupe, 1989. It is true. This an engineering piece.

[yugathwickramarachchi]

Including W123, W124 if the last great Mercedes and the Eternal W140 the glory of all Mercedes .After that Mercedes made heavily electronics filled cars with very high repair cost as opposed to affordability pre 1994 era Mercedes.For this reason many stayed with their Japanese brands even if they were able to afford Mercedes or BMW .

[hansmannens]

The W124 is a fantastic car ! My one is 32 years old and still going strong !!!

[sherwindcunha]

The W124 was the car that Mercedes-Benz entered with in India in 1994. We were the last market where the W124 was sold. At the time, people were unhappy with Mercedes bringing this instead of the W210 that was unveiled at the time. But today, the W124 is enormously popular wru modern classic lovers in India.

[patriknilsson]

Best car I've ever owned, and still own since 2004. A 1988 230CE, not much power but very pleasant ride. She got 470.000 on the clock.
I had a T model as well for many years ago, but the flooring and beams was heavily rotten with rust, so I had to scrap it, such a shame but it was too muck work to do.

[ionrus]

As a 5 year old I used to always draw the w124 I was in loved with the looks. One day in primary school my dad picked me up in a black w124, I was overflowed with joy I cloud not believe it that I was riding in that car, he used to flip cars so he had it for a while. I get chills thinking about it. I need to buy one now.

[patrickkaiserliew]

My dad owned a W124 200 in the 90s. It's a recond model imported from UK. The car is great & very stabile with a top speed of 196km/h. It's powerful for a 2liter engine without fuel injection.
