AC systems in general were not as effective on older cars as they are today but this one, from what I remember felt pretty goodMay 17th, 2022 at 5:51pm ESTelie7elie (3) 0Hello, thank you for the replies on the harness. Is this an R12 AC? if no, was it converted properly? I currently have a 2007 E350 and on hot days it Texas, for example a few days ago at 100 I had to have the AC on almost the highest setting to keep it cool. So now I am wondering, even though you stated the AC does not need to be charged, does this car from the 90s have an A/C that works in hot summer days either in Florida or Texas? I am actually in Florida today and it's hot! Can it cool good?May 17th, 2022 at 5:13pm EST$8,750 bid placed by @JoshMay 17th, 2022 at 4:45pm EST$8,500 bid placed by @DmaxgoldMay 16th, 2022 at 7:23pm EST$8,250 bid placed by @wagonfestMay 16th, 2022 at 10:20am ESTUI_Classics (76) Seller 4With a day left till the end of this auction, I would like to say a few words about this car. Having imported several cars from Europe, including a few W124, I must say this is perhaps one of the nicest and most original ones we’ve had. We purchased this Mercedes from a Benz mechanic/enthusiast who usually buys these cars from private owners, and resells them after correcting whatever the car may need. This car had been garage stored and not driven much in the last 3 years. As a result, some rubber parts such as driveshaft flex discs and the support bearing had to be replaced due to dry rotting. All tires, although with deep tread, also have some dry rotting and need replacement. We purposely left them on the car thinking the new owner can buy a set of his choice rather than have the car with cheaper brand tires that we would most likely install. One of the unique things about this one is that we rarely see one of these cars where everything works as designed, especially the pneumatic system powering the door locks and lumbar support for the seats. We also didn’t even have to charge the A/C system, which is rare. It was cold from the time we got it. Some of you who know these cars, know that this is not a speed demon. It has, however, adequate power and acceleration for comfortable around town driving with great MPG. Please, view all photos and videos and email me with any inquiries. Good luck.May 15th, 2022 at 10:02pm EST$8,000 bid placed by @JoshMay 15th, 2022 at 5:32pm EST$7,500 bid placed by @wagonfestMay 15th, 2022 at 2:40pm ESTDonC (1) 0Can you explain the two indentions on the right front dash panels?

Replacing the harness is very doable, even at home with hand tools, but an extra pain. While good to know whether the harness was replaced, IMO it's in no way a deal breaker for owning a 124 but will factor into the price. Edit: brand new harness typically runs between $800 and $1200 but you can also buy a used one for about $200. Depending on how handy you are, takes between 1-4 hours to replace at home. Need a screw driver, a 10mm socket and a 5mm hex driver. It will cost you like 3-4k at a dealer. seller can check the model number and year harness was manufactured if the sticker hasn't fallen off. typically they're by the batteryMay 10th, 2022 at 9:16pm ESTUI_Classics (76) Seller 0@elie7elie it's really not a huge issue. Apparently many Mercedes, cars from early 90s had engine harness issues (although we have never seen one that would) so some people will always ask about it. I agree an updated harness is a plus on one of these cars but I am also sure there are thousands of these cars with original harness and without any problems. In addition, from what I understand, the harness issues are more apparent on the cars with V8 engines. May 10th, 2022 at 8:39pm ESTelie7elie (3) 0Why is the wiring harness such an issue? May 10th, 2022 at 9:09am ESTUI_Classics (76) Seller 0@k_brady No I don't. We have no records of that. On a side note, it's always good to read previous comments ;-)May 10th, 2022 at 8:56am ESTk_brady (1) 0G'morning. Do you know if the wiring harness has ever been replaced?
