...I bought a gigantic, used Mercedes sedan...a V8 and about 5,000 pounds of steel. Silver with red leather interior and vacuum locks that seldom worked. I did so because I wanted mass around my family. So this ad checks out as true!
My grandfather bought a 220D in 1972 and replaced it with a W123 230E 10 years later.
