- SLOW

My mom had that exact car in that color, grew up choking on the diesel fumes in the backseat. The price is inflated a bit because of people doing veggie conversions. The drivetrain and chassis is great obviously but they aren't immune to electrical issues like instruments and window regulators. They are shitty to drive and not particularly comfortable.

I have a 240 and its the slowest thing I've ever driven bar none. It will also always run and never break but also be a piece of shit that doesn't work the entire time.

Sure, it's a cool looking classic Benz that everyone across the globe from day traders in Picadilly London to Tomboctu South Africa recognizes.
But it's also just a really old car. Wires have corroded, vacuum hoses have disintegrated, pistons have etched. And it's not a common old car, like a VW Bug. Therefore sure, you might be able to find some parts at prices just shy of highway robbery, imported from Stuttgart directly.
But you'll get tired of having to fix shit on a monthly basis. There will be days where you just park it at the local Whole Foods, and get your normal vegan lactose free almomd milk ice cream, check out then get back to the car and it won't start. Then you're just sitting there with melted ice cream whole you wait for your bro to nrimg his jumper cables only to find out that its not the battery or the alternator, or the starter, or the fuel pump, or the radiator, but instead, its the head gasket. You knew you had an oil leak, because you saw that shit turning into chocolate milk the last time toi changed the oil, but you put it off because no way in hell the legendary Mercedes diesel tank would ever fail THAT hard.
But it did. And you just did some extensive Googling while you were waiting there and you realized that fixing this is going to require a scavenger hunt of over 12 parts that are going to cost a mortgage payment to import, and 16hrs of labor.
So you tow it back to your house and put it in the back of the driveway and decide to save up because you ARE going to fix your legendary ride. But then little Sarah is born, and you need money for diapers and daycare. Life happens.

Suddenly it's 3 years later and that cunt of a wife Rhonda starts asking why your piece of shot Benz has to continue to rot in the driveway. You tell her shut the fuck up all it needs is a head gasket and its good as new.
Next thing you know it's another 4 years later and Rhonda up and left your ass and took Sarah with her too. Now you're stuck with a mortgage, and alimony, and child support while Rhonda's out screwing Sarah's new daddy.l, Tony. He's wealthy of course. It's another 5 years later now, and Sarah's all grown up! She gives you a call and says she wants to show you something asking if she can come over. Its 2hrs later and a nice looking dark colored sedan pulls into your driveway, parking near millimeters away from your Benz.
Turns out its a new W213 E-Class! You ooh and aww as you walk out on the pavement to greet this wonderful guest. Sarah gets out of it! You ask your precious daughter, who then starts gushing about her new E300. It's a 2017 with tablets everywhere! You muster up the couragento ask how your daughter obtained your dreamcar. Daddy Tony bought it for my birthday! You smile while she hugs you, not letting Sarah see the small tear roll down your face as you glance back at your old Benz.
You then buy a Lexus LS and stop speaking to your daughter for decades until your death.

>And it's not a common old car
Wrong, the W123 is the most produced Mercedes-Benz chassis code of all time.
>having to fix shit on a monthly basis
Wrong, otherwise it wouldn't be known as the million mile car.
