Model history
The Mercedes-Benz 123 series stands for reliability, durability, and technical progress. Built between 1975 and 1986, it was the brand's best-selling model to date with almost 2.7 million units sold. As the direct successor to the "Strich Acht," the W 123 introduced important safety innovations and was the first Mercedes with a turbo diesel engine in the passenger car segment. In addition to the sedan and coupe, the T-model—the first station wagon in this class—was also a novelty. Starting in the fall of 1984, the W 123 was gradually replaced by the 124 series.

Technik: Die Lieferzeiten beim neuen W 123 wuchsen auf bis zu drei Jahre an, was dazu führte, dass für Kaufverträge für Neuwagen teilweise mehr als 5000 DM über Listenpreis bezahlt wurde, um schneller an das Modell zu kommen. Auch Jahreswagen wurden vielfach mit Preisaufschlägen weiterverkauft. Das hat sich in der westdeutschen Automobilgeschichte bei Großserienfahrzeugen bis heute nicht wiederholt. Die Entscheidung des Herstellers, den Strich 8 nach Einführung des Nachfolgers noch rund elf Monate im Programm zu belassen, hatte mehrere Gründe. Zum einen war das bewährte Modell speziell im Taxigewerbe noch sehr beliebt und verkaufte sich gut. Zum anderen kam der neu vorgestellte W 123 so gut bei den Käufern an, dass schon zu Beginn der Serienproduktion Lieferfristen von mehr als einem Jahr bestanden. In dieser Zeit war der /8 (W 114/115) je nach Ausführung bis zu 2400 DM günstiger als der Nachfolger. Der Kaufpreis des W 123 bei Markteinführung lag zwischen 18.870 DM (200) und 26.895 DM (280 E). Generell gilt die Baureihe 123 und 124 als "unkaputtbar" denn diese Langläufer bei Taxi und Behördenfahrzeugen waren unschlagbar!! LG Tom
