i will take a 75 volvo 240 over any benz any day. the diesels are ok but as they age, benzs get exspensive. replace the axles in 1. or the upper, yes, they are there, and lower ball joints. only thing RIGHT NOW, is diesel is cheaper than gas. at least here in orlando. the 123's have a complicated vacuum system for everything. door locks and ac. you HAVE to adjust the valves on an mb diesel every 15k. done a bunch, too many to count. gonna do another this week. volvos? they used to say 15k. in all the b21s, etc., i've worked on, i've done 3 actual adjustments. 1 was a cam change, another was a burnt valve from old age. the 3rd was mine after i pulled the head and the machine shop overdid the valves. pound for pound, dollar for dollar, the 240 volvo is cheaper than the benz you bought. good luck, chuck.
