“They don’t make them like they used to” is probably the encapsulation of the W124-generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class. And this Albanian-registered taxi is perhaps the best representation of that old-time phrase, having clocked well over 1.5 million kilometers since it was manufactured back in 1993. The video by DW does show that the E200 may have clocked “only” 584,589 km, but that’s because the odometer has rolled back upon hitting the magical 1,000,000 km mark. Moreover, the owner, Luan Nina, s

Nearly two decades ago, at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the Vision CLS concept car, and the automotive world was infatuated by its beauty. Mercedes-Benz was so proud of its concept that combined coupe and sedan into one, it declared that it had “created a milestone in automotive history” in its official press release. While the production CLS did eventually pave the way for rivals (and Volkswagen) to launch their own version of a 4-door coupe, Mercedes-Benz wasn’t the fi

Though quad headlights don’t get the same love as pop-up lights, we still fancy its set-up. Compared to the nineties, this design is almost disappearing as many cars switched to LED headlights. Back when LEDs were still in their infancy, however, it’s not surprising to see some models offering four headlights and this was mainly to make room for both low and high beam lights. As the technology improved (i.e. adaptive headlights), the traditional bulbs have to make way for brighter and more effic

Think quintessential German sedans and your minds will most probably conjure images of big and roomy cars like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W210). A fair few of you will recall one exactly like this. Probably your rich uncle had one. In my case, the dentist always had a silver example outside his clinic. Anime aficionados will also recall a certain Papa driving one... Rose-tinted glasses aside, the W210 really did push the carmaker's envelope in terms luxury, looks and comfort. A short history les

** This article is the personal experience of a 1989 Mercedes-Benz W124 300E-24 owner and does not necessarily reflect the views of WapCar. Instagram: @luqcars (Luqman Hakim) About the Mercedes-Benz 300E Back in 2018, I was just gaming when my dad texted me a picture of a rather familiar W124 being washed. When asked, he simply replied “our new toy.” Of course, it was short lived – I’ll explain why in a bit. However, it does mean that I got the chance to return to one of my highlights of my chil

If you have visited any Mercedes-Benz dealers recently, you would know that there are hardly any 2020 models on sale. Perplexing because we are already well into the third month of the year. It doesn’t matter if you are buying a locally-assembled Mercedes-Benz C-Class/E-Class/GLC-Class or an imported A-Class. Dealers don’t have any 2020 manufacturing year cars to sell you. Buyers are advised to take one of two options - buy a unit manufactured in 2019 with minimal discounts, or wait until Merced
