For less money and just as nice looking of a car, you should also consider the 1981-85 W126, which includes the 300SD, 380SE, 380SEL, 500SEL, 380SEC, and 500SEC. The "SEC" are 2-doors however, but beautiful cars I think. Also some Euro models with this W126 chassis, which include a 280SE, 280SEL, etc, but not as many as the others listed.
You can probably buy a nice 81-85 W126, for much less $ than a 86-91 W126.

The later W126's had a lot of updates, personaly I wouldn't even bother looking at an older one unless it was one heck of a deal. The newer engines put out more power and get the same mileage, if not better mileage.
The best w126's would be the latest possible. 89-91 had the updated interior. 1991 you could get traction control which is nice in snow!
Hunt for a 1990-91 420/560SEL, better interior, sound system, traction control, and all the updates that MB did.
