Oh, believe you me, the W126 300SD has been on my radar for some time now, but I liked this car, and it was right for my current price range. A W126 300SD with working A/C is hard to find - heck, any older MB with working A/C is hard to find.

For what it's worth, my great aunt has a 1986 420SEL with an original 48,000 miles on it. I drove it two weeks ago - wow. That's pretty much all I can say - wow.
