Check out real-world situations relating to the Mercedes-Benz 300 1981 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

  • Mercedes-benz picks

    Think about a W123 series 300D built after 1981. It is a five-cylinder and will give you great service. Little goes wrong with them as long as they are serviced as recommended, and the rest of the drivetrain and chassis is equally durable. Later W124 diesels are six cylinders and are also worth considering, but cost more. They perform better than the earlier cars but have more electronics and other modern ancillaries to give problems.
