I've been looking for a good W124 or W202 or even a W210 that has all the features i want for the past few months but i have to face that these cars are getting old and tired. I'm looking for something with an automatic transmission and cruise control since i drive a lot and in boring conditions most of the time. but most 124s are manual and have crazy odo readings. Same thing with the 202s and half of the 210s are autos but all of them are rust buckets.
Looking for a more modern car like a W203 or a W211 seems more realistical in the end. Most of them are autos, all of them have cruise control. However, can they be as good as the 124s and 202s in terms of reliability? I'm asking for a lot since i've been served so well by these cars so far.
What is your experience with these two chassis in perticular? What are the best years and years to avoid? What to look for for each chassis? It is worth mentioning that 90% are CDIs. The models i'm interested are mostly the C220, C270, E220 and E270 CDI, all with the 722.6 transmission. The gas versions are rare but i'm interested as well.
