The nav is from the single din stereo
as for the buttons they must be added later as mods

Quite high mileage, but THAT spec on a 250TD...Unbelievable.

Looks like they need the money to fund the house build Looks a bit drafty with winter coming up.

It's hard to see from the pics but I think the extra switches between the rear window lift switches are just regular MB items. One looks like it's for the two tone horn, the other looks like the alarm warning light and the other looks like a snow chain switch.

Kind Regards

I don't know anything about used car prices in Germany but that looks like big money for a high-mileage W124 250 diesel despite the toys.

It's only done 200k; that's nothing even in a petrol of this age, for a diesel it's barely run in.

Nice car; with the standard premium diesels fetch, and the condition, and all the toys... Well, I wouldn't pay it but I can understand why he thinks it's worth that, & I don't doubt someone will agree with him.

I'm so sad this culture is not here in Kuwait,after only 4 years of car manufacturing year ppl here think the car is old enough to be in the junk yard!!!!!!!
A guy at Mercedes Local dealer here in Kuwait told me that MB makes engine over haul every 75000 miles (120000km)!!!!! I was shocked to hear this from a guy working at MB local dealer,I'm sure this guy is qualified to work in a Japanese car local dealer.My car is now 280000km ,he saw the mileage and told me that my car engine is over worn!!!!!!
Pity employee

i have seen it in the manual but I am still none the wiser? Is it some sort of speed limiter?

I have googled it, it seems to be a switch to disable the ASR. my guess is the ASR would intrude too much in slippery conditions.

 

[Charles Morgan]

Yes - with snow chains on traction control has to be disabled, and that is what it does!

Surprisingly for me, all the W124s (apart from one coupe) I overtook in Germany were either 200 or 250 diesels, which might account for me overtaking them, but they all looked fantastic, albeit for about a millisecond in the rear view mirror.

I have this option in my SL600....
