Look for a car your age

. The W126 model is a better car than the W140. At least to me (a W126 owner) a W140 owner would tell you different.

Do some searches on this site on W140 and W126 to see what I mean.

You can get any part for any of these cars from this site or from the dealer. Parts can be expensive, but on the W126 just about anything can be rebuilt and does not have to be replaced.

Buying either model is easier if you can do most of the work yourself. You should be able to do oil changes, spark plugs, etc.

This site has a lot of DIY information and how to guides.

Replacement engines range from under $1000 junk yard specials to $6500 rebuilt engines...

The most important thing to buying these cars is get the best one you can afford. Records are important.
