doug Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Best time of year to sell a car. So here goes.Buy one get one free, (spares or brave repairs) The one in the above pic is mot till Sept 2018. Good condition, not much rust. Wheel arches good. Radio not working.Air con not working. Water leak into the boot that I have failed to fix. New boot seal, RTV on the rear lights. RTV around rear window and still it leaks.Heater blower fan noisy but sort of works. £600 Plus the one on the left for spares as well. Needs welded at the rear end, not really sure what is required.

Peter C Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Near Ayr.I’m out unless you can deliver both down to London for the asking price. I sold my W124 E220 a few months ago to make room for a W219 CLS. Not a mistake as such but I miss having a W124 in my life. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chancer Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Serious want for this! Proper mercedes...and so close! Wrong time of year unfortunately. Im sure thats worth way more than your asking, shouldnt hang about too long. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter C Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Best I could do is collect you from Glasgow/Edinburgh airport or train station.A kind offer and a great deal but logistics and an imminent holiday rule me out. I would definitely take the second car for parts but hauling it across two countries is simply not feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorniteIdentity Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I owned this w124 before Doug. It is brilliant. I sold it to buy something more usable, but regret it. I put my w202 for sale to buy this back but no bites. GLWS Doug! doug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somewhatfoolish Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 For the more discerning shiter; it's correctly engined having cylinders in excess of 4, but does it have junkman-approved transmission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chancer Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Im going to advertise some shite tonight in the hope of raising enough cash for this? Broken A class or out of MOT peugeot diesel for anyone? Tamworthbay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter C Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 For the more discerning shiter; it's correctly engined having cylinders in excess of 4, but does it have junkman-approved transmission?Agreed. The main reason for selling my E220 was that the engine was rough and the car was too slow. A 300E has an M103 engine, the same as fitted to W126 300SEs. I had one of those years ago, great car and power plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorniteIdentity Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 From my tenure One door is slightly different in colour. Otherwise it’s a fantastic example of a pre face lift 6 cylinder w124. It’s worth more than the asking so snap it up! Brodders, NorfolkNWeigh, Skizzer and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forddeliveryboy Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Wot, leather seating too? Probably the best year for 124s, still high quality steel covered in good paint, but with plusher interiors than the earlier ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardmorris Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Has to be a bargain. I use mine as my everyday car, they are quite happy doing that. I know I will regret saying so, but all mine has needed outside a service this last 12months has been a pair of tie rods and the tracking setting up afterwards.It’s also really, really, fun when you out accelerate modern BMWs ( in 3rd gear in an automatic!) mine has the later 24v engine, but the 300 goes on forever without any problems as long as you regard the distributor as a yearly service item. chaseracer and BorniteIdentity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorniteIdentity Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 It’s a lovely engine; a real lazy old school slogger. They make a wolf cry when provoked too. I shouldn’t have sold it really, but the lure of a launch Rover 75 that I could run daily on a 100 mile commute was too much to resist. richardmorris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerzy Woking Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I sold this to Bourneidentity-I liked it but it was unused and as such things started to stop working. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, as it was such a lovely car to waft abound in, I should have kept it as my daily. GLWTS-I am absolutely sure the next owner will love it too.

I agree that 100 miles a day at 26mpg is a little self indulgent! I bought mine in 2012 ( for my 40th birthday ) and the First time I filled up it was £1.40a litre! I have a history of buying cars in fuel crises. I’d just bought my first CX in 1999 and the lorry drivers started protesting when I think it was 85p a litre. Thankfully that had an extra large PO spec tank. BorniteIdentity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorniteIdentity Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Ha. My first job was reporting on the fuel depot protests in 2000. 87.9p in Ipswich was the straw that broke the camel’s back. (!) The Rover is a much maligned Car, but the v6 is sonic perfection and returns a good 37 on a run! richardmorris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardmorris Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I remember going to the Earl’s Court motor show and sitting in a 75. I was impressed ( well I drove a 2cv- wind up windows would impress me)with the quality and looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
