Attn: Mercedes Benz owners oldskul and new.. post your cars.

additional info lang ...

if this is your first time to get a classic MB ... it would be best to bring an "MB" certified mechanic along if and when you check out possible purchase candidates.

try not to jump at the first "juicy deal" that you get.

look for legit papers, maintenance receipts, spareparts receipts, etc. a meticulous owner would have these.

window shop around, there are a lot of W123's being sold out there.

decide on which variant you want. petrol or diesel? automatic or manual? the advantages of each variant you'll get to know once you browse thru the forums Pat (Mbeige) has mentioned.

have patience, remember these are 20++ year old cars.

read and learn thru the internet, googling Mercedes Benz W123 will give you tons of info.

Re: DIY picture * Pat;

ano ba ginagawa mo dyan? yan ba yung nagpalit ka ng rear diff?.. jeeez.. na-alala ko tuloy nung tinanggal ko yung rear suspension ng W114 ko ... kasama yung axles AND diff .... ANG SAKIT SA KATAWAN!!!....

Thanks Not in too much of a hurry naman to get a W123, I've just started actually on browsing for infos on the net as well as for some future prospects, just to get a feel of the going market prices. Anyway, if ever I do start on checking out some units, I do intend to bring either a certified benz mechanic or a certified benz freak

Uh, someone called my name? Sa aesthetics lang ako makakalaban.... mechanicals dapat si Francis or Pat kasama mo.

At least I now know whose good hands I should go too

[mbeige]

Francis, masakit rin katawan ko pagkatapos. Pero happy ako, car drove SMOOTH. Walang problema. It was a job well done for both of us. My friend had to leave kagad, nahiya nga ako kasi natagalan kami ng konti. Pero it was worth it.

Kung nandito ka lang sa California, tawagan mo ako samahan kita kung talagang gusto mo ng w123.

Soon, hahanap ako ng 190E for my sister. Long story short, kailangan ng kapalit yung 190E niya na naaksidente. Sana okay na homework ko by the time we look around para alam ko what to look for (part of the fun yung homework).

Sagutin ko na in behalf of Pat, YUP, he's based in SoCal.

OT: He is the mod sa 123 forums ng Benzworld.

thanks bro, 'cuz i'm from socal too, i'm an old benz guy also. Use to own a real clean 1980 W116 300SD which I regret selling. I'm out of space and I need to get rid of it. I currently drive an 1982 r107 380SL.


Here's my W116


Here's my current r107, it's all original (sitting next to my 68 Monterey)


My 380SL next to my daily driven bug

Hi Eric,

Yup, Anaheim/Orange County area ako. Nice 300SD, sayang nabenta mo na. Perfect opportunity to photograph both cars together.

Sama ka sa Pinoy SoCal section ng Benz World (sa Events section). Ako nagpasimuno, lumaki yung group pero recently tahimik mga tao. Busy siguro sa dami ng raket
