Thank for the comments. The one we went to look at was a total POS.
although rust free, that was the only thing going for it. Int. stank, pass. side exterior looked like it was painted with a spray can by a 5 yr old. massive exhaust leak. etc. etc. etc.
But, she does like the w126 style. Thats a good thing. now I can concentrate on finding a good one.
