It is now in limp mode and has CEL- P0670. I'm told it could be an easy 
fix but after having to replace the front air shocks, because it was 
being driven less, I'm over it and want it gone.

Scan and see what is going on, check over various connections and hoses, 
probably not anything too critical.


Vehicle will run fine at times and other times will idle high and stall 
when at idle. I’m not a Mercedes’ guru so it has me stumped.

Is there anyone on this list young enough to still be working and not 
retired in 20 years (exccept maybe Curt)? If so, you are likely correct 
that it will fund their retirement because they won't likely make it 
more than another year or two after that.

After you deduct the $5k it costs to locate a competent mechanic that can sort 
out the fuel system. Pre-facelift R129s are nightmarish in this regard, not to 
mention some of the other issues they had.

[Hendrik riessen]

Maybe a 1k car for someone looking to strip it apart but as far as one 
of the best driving machines ever you would be hard pressed to find better.
Far as the reverse goes, may be it needs new shifter bushings or some 
new ATF.

OK this is what I was asking originally.  The sometimes doesn't go into 
reverse is that a symptom of a fatal problem or more likely something easily 
repaired (like the B2 failure in the older cars).

For some reason I was thinking this car had a laundry list of problems, must 
have confused it with another W124. Mileage is undisclosed, but for now I'll 
assume it's high enough to keep the retail value at or below $3200.
Then you have the tranny problem, which may be missing shift bushings but is 
more likely to be a tranny so worn that the delay on shifting into reverse is 
approaching infinity.


Best case for the rest of the car and worst case for the tranny, you pay $2200 
to have a rebuilt tranny installed, everything else is top-top, and the 
resulting car is worth $3k or maybe a bit more. In reality, if it's worn out the 
tranny, it probably needs a good bit of suspension work and maybe a valve job.

OK for some reason I thought I '95 would be worth more.  But you're right.  I 
found out it has 220K miles so a worn-out tranny would not be unsurprising.  
Also do these have the biodegradable wiring problems?

It means the transmission is bad.

reverse is that a symptom of a fatal problem or more likely something easily 
repaired (like the B2 failure in the older cars).

Because it's a $2500-3000 car with a few thousand worth of things wrong

For some reason I was thinking this car had a laundry list of 
problems, must have confused it with another W124. Mileage is 
undisclosed, but for now I'll assume it's high enough to keep the 
retail value at or below $3200.
Then you have the tranny problem, which may be missing shift bushings 
but is more likely to be a tranny so worn that the delay on shifting 
into reverse is approaching infinity.


Best case for the rest of the car and worst case for the tranny, you 
pay $2200 to have a rebuilt tranny installed, everything else is 
top-top, and the resulting car is worth $3k or maybe a bit more. In 
reality, if it's worn out the tranny, it probably needs a good bit of 
suspension work and maybe a valve job.

yes, and the evaporator problems.

OK for some reason I thought I '95 would be worth more.  But you're right.  I 
found out it has 220K miles so a worn-out tranny would not be unsurprising.  
Also do these have the biodegradable wiring problems?
