no offense to him but at first glance it looks like his mom choked on something when they asked what name to put on the birth certificate....:biglaugh::biglaugh:

awesome car, i've been thinking about a mercedes myself what kinds of MPG do those cars get? power/torque/weight?

i think they're nice :) and who cares about the leather the fuzzy seats are cool, warmer, and won't burn you or make you sticky.:icon_bigg

LOL, i still hate the fuzzy seats :p

And it makes 185hp/192ft-lb...weighs 3649lbs. And I would say the MPG is pretty decent...I sat in LA traffic for about 1.5 hours, and only used 1/8 tank of gas...so it's probably around 20MPG...maybe a little more on the highway.

Just a little update...this has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. I have now put about 6k miles on it, and it never falters. Just put some new tires on it, that's it. I wouldn't be surprised if this car lasts another 20 years. Gotta be one of the 10 best chassis ever. Here are a couple more recent pics for those that haven't seen them:

I've also acquired a Diesel Mercedes that looks like it will be taking this car's place soon. Anyone interested in buying the S class?

Nice cars. I have a 1993 300d myself and it always seems to turn heads. Most people don't realize that these are some of the most reliable, well-built cars on the road. Plenty of people will tell you "Yeah but if it breaks your screwed!". These people are idiots...:biglaugh: At 193k, I've replaced a few wear items and it couldn't be much easier. Mercedesshop.com forums are a great resource BTW.

Haha, well I would buy something other than a Mercedes, but there's only one Supra! :biglaugh: Oh, and the S-class doesn't really weigh that mush more than the Supra... O_O

Haha, I wouldn't replace it, but the MPG is beginning to be a problem since I drive SO MUCH. I feel like I'm always at the gas station...if it weren't for that tho, I would totally keep it. The diesel just seems like a more economical decision...but they are now worth so much that I almost don't want to drive it!

I agree completely...I think a W123 Mercedes is in the Guinness book as being the highest mileage car...(someone correct me if I'm wrong) but I believe it was a diesel that was used as a taxi.

These old Mercedes will still be kicking around when most of the cars on the road today have long been forgotten.
