Power is really not a problem at highway speeds. Around town the second gear start makes the car a little slow off the line. Like all W126's, it has the usual front suspension bushing, ball joint and track rod mount issues.

It's also said that the most expensive Mercedes is the cheap ones, to buy that is. They usually suffer from defered maintenance.
