Hi Joe ! .
_NO_ ~ I have _zero_ plans to ever let go of my beloved W-123 Diesel Sports Coupe .
I know the W-124's are nice and much more modern & plasitcky blah blah blah , the Electronic F.I. makes far more power and mileage too but I'm an old fuddy-duddy who rides my rigs pretty hard so I'm happy to trade off the increased power & fuel economy for one that'll outlast me , I doubt a W-124 will , I see them in Pick-A-Part all the time .
THANK YOU for the kind thoughts though ! =8-) .
-Nate
(maybe Tony will buy one and try to keep up with my old W-123)
