Nicely done man, mercedes 200d+w124= perfect combo, you make good videos without filling the videos with advertising and begging for subs! You make best videos of starting old cars and other vehicles after sitting for long time
@@Chr.U.Cas2216 Absolutely correct! I tend to go with those because they're newer, some of the last overengineered yet more mechanical platforms. The W140 is still a great platform, but it's got a lot of electronics, prone to problems. Likewise to you, friend! Have a great day! 😉
Now I miss my 1992 200d Mercedes! 🥺 It was such a great car, 550.000 km on the odometer and going like new, it was still able to reach 170km/h like a champ! Made my biggest mistake selling it in nearly perfect condition for less than 1000€... All it wanted was a new paintjob.
Brought this exact model a few years ago. Was idle for about 10-12 years. Went to pick it up, made sure that everything from oil to wheels and all the other neccesities are alright. Tried to turn it on, started from first try without delay. The only thing I changed was a belt that cost me about 10-20 euros. I believe it was the accesory belt that only made a screeching noise. Other than that, perfect condition. 450.000 km, still running impecable. Went up to 180-200km/h on the highway, stable af. One of the best cars ever. Reliable af. Built like a tank. If taken proper care of, will easly run over 1 milion mileage.
Late 80s or early to mid 90s 200D. Great and underrated find, man! Classic and solid. Can't ever beat these bulletproof old Benz cars, like the sturdiness of any old car from this time. I remember being a kid and seeing these brand new, in the late 90s. Nostalgic!

The sound of a rough diesel engine. Hand crank windows. Manual gear. Tow hook. Gray plastic bumper. Steel wheel. Fabric seat. No rpm meter. All my favorite elements are in this car.
