In the last two years I've replaced the shocks, plugs, wires, vacuum modulator, fuel filter, water pump, fuel lines, and maybe a few other things. I need to replace the window regulators, cv axles, idle control valve, and lower oil pan gasket and oil level sensor. If you can handle small repairs like these then this is a good car. I like the way it drives and it car surprisingly turn very well into parking spaces for its size. Also is the odometer working? I have never owned a W126 that had a working odometer until recently becasue I swapped one from a junk yard car. I have only observed 16 mpg mixed mileage. I wouldnt sell my car though like every one tells me too. I'd say but it becasue I paid 3500 bucks for mine with 200k miles.
