The 300SE has a good bulletproof engine and of the W126, are probably the most simple and straightforward.
Condition and provenance are all. Try to look for one with as much history and maintenance as you can get. The ultra cheap ones can be money pits.
The W126 sedans are good highway cruisers, well constructed and VERY safe.
They had a very gentle restyle in 1986, and ABS and airbags are good options to have.
The diesels are everlasting, but with the price of gas and interest in biodiesel fuel they are tending to command premium prices over the gas models. If you decide to go for aq diesel model, the 350SD engine is not recommended.
