Regarding your decision to buy a W123 as your primary vehicle. These vehicles are more than 40 years old, so keep that in mind first. That being said, the W 123 is undeniably a top-tier Mercedes-Benz. Some of the critical components, meanwhile, are becoming more elusive, so keep that in mind. Because certain goods are not available anymore, I would assume that you will have to take a break from driving at some point to wait for a part or another. However, if you are really set on purchasing a W123, it must be a pristine, one-owner vehicle with very few miles on the odometer. This is not your average W123. Any vintage Mercedes in this condition will fetch a pretty penny. Therefore, I will wish you well and hope that you pursue your passion.
