Any engine that has gone 205K cannot be called self destructive.....two things...1)not everyone had problems with this engine and 2) where are you going to find a 90's era S-class for $7500?
I think the price is very fair...but as someone said I think this group is steered more towards 80's cars that can be fixed at home.....but realistically I think the 126 is the last S-class that that can be said about

seriously I don't think someone selling a 140 would do well here or a 210 for that matter.....so maybe elsewhere is your best bet

that being said I think $7500 is very reasonable...put an add in the star...I think the response will surprise you
