"The legendary OM617 Turbo Diesel is one of the most reliable engines ever built. The engines are known to be nearly indestructible and can be easily converted to alternative fuels. 1985 Was the final year of the W123 platform."
"When the W123 went out of production in 1986 it had surpassed the Stroke Eight as the bestselling Mercedes-Benz with more than 2.5 million cars sold. Mercedes built the car to last, nd many are still on the road today.
