As I'm getting fed up with my too s**te and too old runabouts I've decided the get something half decent instead. For various reasons this means a Merc W123 or W124 estate.
Now there's not really a shortage of 124 estates but the majority of them seems to be squarely in the 's**te' category and have been to Mars and back and as such 'just run in'.
So I was wondering if you could keep an eye out for a good, low-ish mileage W124 estate - preferably a late one as I've currently got an early saloon and I'd prefer one with most of the faults sorted, hence the late model.
Engine-wise the preference would be the 300D (preferably with a slush box so Ann can drive it if necessary) or one of the big sixes (280,300,320) otherwise.
That said, I would consider a late, very good W123 estate but they're very elusive these days.
I'm looking at the usual source (fleabay, Autotrader etc) but figured that if you were to come across one I'd be happy to wave cash in your direction...
