As you can see in my sig line, I believe in the W124. My 260E is my favorite all around car. I like the feel, the handling, and the car is very easy to work on. Make sure you search this forum for the many posts which layout the key things to watch for when looking for one of these cars. Certain years have their own issues (wiring harness) and it's great if you can find one that has already had the head gasket redone. Low miles is good but I rarely let that be a determining factor - the engine and drive train will last forever with proper maintenance.

Good luck and let us all know what you end up doing.
