I am really sorry if I sounded rude, I really didn't want it to read that way. Ok 86560SEL I have been reading your posts for awhile now and hear is my advice I mean it in the nicest way, do you know what you want? You seem to come up with some nice sounding cars, the 560 you found a few months ago with a bad trann,y that sounded decent. This 500 could be a nice car. It seems to me at least that you are looking for a response that we cannot provide. Take the 500 for a ride if it looks and sounds good go for it. A V8 W126 is a lot different than a diesel W126 in the way they feel and what the cost to keep going. Come on man we need to get you into a W126
Take the plunge!
