Seems silly to compare these 3, as well all know the outcome, but anyway. Availability of decent 124's has become a problem in recent years, good ones are harder to find and expensive. 210's are the better value, but, you get what you pay for. The interior quality of the 210, and rust issues, really let it down despite the plethora of new features available.

Only the later 124's with DOHC engines are really comparable to the 210's, the early 124's are let down by the archaic powerplants (the OM603 being the lone exception IMO).
