Hi all,
I could do with some advice,
We have two late 124 E300 diesels, my wifes is superb, 94, 140k fsh drives fantastic, except it has no rear headrests or pass. airbag.
The problems is safety, my wife travels about 500 miles per week with our 2 children and is worried after her friend and child both got injured in a crash.
So my question is would an early W210 E300 Diesel (which will have the same engine but a 4 star ncap rating) be a lot safer?
If I did start looking for a W210 how much worse is the build quality than a 124, I've heard some horror stories about rust?
Finaly which car would you keep;
94 E300 diesel 140k in red
or
95 E300 diesel estate 215k in silver
What do you think guys?
Phil
