So I was thinking about a Mercedes w124 as a first car and a daily driver. I really like the looks of the car and I love how it feels on the road. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a car that old for everyday use.

Does any of you own a w124? Should I go for it or not?

Bought a w124 230e 5 speed manual 1 year ago for 1500 eurobucks. Buy it. It's awesome you will not regret it. Feels like a vault on a cloud. Did 15000km fine, she's young, 240 000km. Ask me anything.

How about rust? I saw lots of ads under 2000 eurobucks that had rust around the wheel arches, door trim and around front and back lights. Can I still get one that has a decent bottom?

Road worthiness inspection for older cars is liberally bashing with a hammer and looking for rust holes where I live.
>>
>>17756574

Rust around the wheel arches is the most common. Around me 1 out of 10 have rust. Just pick one that doesn't have it and had it's fluids changed regulary.

Use this: https://classics.honestjohn.co.uk/reviews/mercedes-benz/e-class-w124/?section=buying

What motor do you want? How many kilometers per year are you going to do? do you want a manual or automatic?

Take a diesel one if you do more than 15000km per year. Gas 6 cylinders eats a lot of fuel. I higly advice to take a automatic, the manual gearbox is reliable but is very akward.

The Toro has it's own platform and the look is inspired not from mitsubishi but from the new Jeep Cherokee since Fiat owns Jeep

Bad relay(s).

The fuses?

I haven't thought about that being an issue...
>>
>>17753798

start checking wiring and cleaning grounds. if its a Ford or Nissan, might have gotten a fucked reman alternator. when i worked in a shop over half the reman alternators for Nissans and Fords we got from fucking Napa were bad right out of the box

get a voltmeter and throw it on your battery, should be 13.9-14.4ish volts. otherwise you got a fucked alt or wiring issues

The wiring in my car is totally fucked. Exposed wires hanging everywhere, bunch of fried relays, it's bad. How do I fix it? I'm probably gonna have to totally rewire everything but for now I'd just like my car to not catch on fire

when i was in the trade we worked on some old fucks DMC-12, what a fucking piece of shit. even a simple window regulator on those is a nightmare

i dont know what to say, last time i worked in an actual shop a few years ago we ordered some parts from Texas to here in Canada because apparently theres a warehouse in Texas that makes DMC-12 parts brand new still. might just be best ordering a whole wiring harness

Crashed my imported 1994 Honda NSX today, had it for 3 weeks.

Used 12 years of my savings.

Waited for 5 months for it to arrive.

I want to cry but there is no tears, I think I'm going to commit suicide.

Maybe pull one from a junkyard? If not, a driveway-done rattlecan job and come out pretty decent if you take your time, and shouldn't cost more than $50.

Anything with remote locking can be hacked to a degree.
As for remotely taking complete control of your car with you in it, a 996 is probably safe.
