I just saw a W123 today, one time two different W123 minutes apart. Spotted a few W126's as well.

They're still around in the south, I have noticed NO ONE is selling their W126's anymore, I used to get a full page of W126's on craigslist two years ago. Now hardly anything shows up, also the value of them has gone up a little as well.


Even the oh so common 420sel only shows ONE result with my area maxed out.


Like I say, I'll just jump ship to the next gen when the old one dies out. Later I'll be driving old W211's.

Hopefully others won't miss your point. Who here is daily driving a Pontoon or Patent Wagon? Time moves on.

I'll be daily driving a fintail one of these days. But, I'll likely be daily driving my W116 for many more years.
