I've been in the market for a different car for quite a few months, and done as much research as I think is needed. All that I'd like to do, at this point, is a test drive. However, I've been scouring my local area for Benz's, or older Lexii (Plural?), to find none. I live in Tomah, Wisconsin, a pretty backwater part of a rural state. I'm wondering if anyone could help shine some light on where to look for such cars, to give them my first spin.

As such, I'd like to go with the 560SEL. A question I have about it, is what type of speaker setup does it have? 6x9's? How many of each? I've not been able to find this out myself, and could use a bit of help. I'd like to customize the audio (/video) system in a car, but in a Benz, I'd like to not be chopping things up. The thought makes me shudder.

Thanks.

Speaker sizes in a nutshell -

86-87 - 4x6 in dash, 6.5 in rear with room for separates

88-91 - 4x6 in dash, 6.5 in doors with room for separates, 6.5 in rear with room for separates

My uncle had an 84 500SEL in which 6x9 subs were fit into the two cubbies in the rear deck.

Thanks, sixto. Promt and precise answer on that one.

I've been searching for cars, and I would have no problem going a thousand or two miles to pick up the right one, but I'd like to test drive one of these cars I'm considering to buy. Never got behind the wheel of any Benz...something I'd like to do before I buy one.

I've seen quite a bit of w126's in the Madison area, though I'm not too enthused about driving 190 miles to simply test drive a model. Might come to that, but I'm hoping not.

That'd really be spectacular! I do come down there, from time to time, on a sushi run. (No food I've ever eaten was quite so much art and taste.) Possibly soon, January 24-31. Awsome.
