Yes, all very true. The squeaky interior is easily remedied with anti-squeak tape. New rear window seal or a bead of clear silicone on the lower edges easily cures any seepage; new taillight seals help as well. Suspension is not really bad, it's just that technology has really improved by leaps and bounds in the 18 years since the W126 was introduced. New bushings and shocks make a world of difference.
