Model history

The Mercedes-Benz W123 series was produced between 1975 and 1986 and quickly became one of the brand's most successful models. Over 2.7 million vehicles were sold worldwide, making the W123 models a symbol of German engineering and reliability. In Germany in particular, they shaped the streetscape for years – not least as the vehicle of choice for numerous taxi companies. The robust technology and high mileage made the W123 a valued companion, often reaching mileage of over 500,000 kilometers. Even after their active service, many of these vehicles found a second life in regions with poor road conditions, where they were valued for their ease of maintenance and resilience. To this day, the W123 is considered the epitome of durable automotive engineering from Stuttgart.

    Hallo und guten Tag, ein schönes Fahrzeug auf den ersten Blick, u.a. Velourspolster (leider mit Loch in der Beifahrerwange). Ich hätte folgende drei Fragen: 1. Auf den Bildern 1 und 40 sieht man, dass der Wagen links einen ordentlichen Hecktreffer bekommen hat. Gibt es hierzu ein Unfallgutachten mit den Schäden ? (Rahmen verzogen ?) 2. Auf Bild 126 ist auf dem Ölzettel vermerkt, dass 2014 der letzte Ölwechsel gemacht wurde. Wurde seit 11 Jahren tatsächlich das Motoröl nicht mehr gewechselt? 3. Sind die 15“ Felgen mit der Bereifung im Schein eingetragen? Gibt es hierzu ein Gutachten? Es sind Zubehörfelgen und keine originalen Mercedes Fuchs-Felgen. Danke vorab für Ihre Antworten. LG Schneider

      Technik: Die Baureihe 123 ist das bisher meistgebaute Modell von Mercedes-Benz. Es zählt zur oberen Mittelklasse, bei Mercedes-Benz heute E-Klasse genannt. Vorgänger sind der W 114 (Sechszylindermodelle) und der W 115 (Vierzylinder- und Dieselmodelle), auch „Strich 8“ (/8) genannt. Sowohl der Vorgänger als auch der Nachfolger liefen jeweils rund ein Jahr parallel mit dem W 123 vom Band. Die Baureihe 123 setzte Maßstäbe in der Fahrzeugsicherheit und war einer der ersten Kombis in dieser Klasse sowie der erste Mercedes-Benz-Personenwagen mit Turbodieselmotor. Zunächst gab es, je nach Motorisierung, verschiedene Scheinwerfer: Wagen mit den schwächeren Motoren wurden mit Rundscheinwerfern ausgestattet, salopp „Ochsenaugen“ genannt. Rechteckige Halogenscheinwerfer kennzeichneten die Spitzenmodelle 300 TD Turbodiesel, 280/280 E und die Coupés. Diese Modelle wertete Mercedes auch mit verchromten Gummilippen unter den Heckleuchten und verchromten Lüftungsgittern vor der Frontscheibe optisch auf. Im Zuge der Modellpflege zur dritten Serie im September 1982 erhielten alle Modelle die rechteckigen Scheinwerfer, mattschwarze Lüftungsgitter und eine Zierleiste aus Zebranoholz am Armaturenbrett.
