I have had two W126s one 'short' wheelbase and one long. Go for the long wheelbase cars.They have a huge amount of room inside. I am getting 27~33 mpg on my 1986 300SDL with the six cylinder diesel engine in a car that has the rear seat room of a limo. If he wants an SUV, go for a recent vintage Tahoe. I Love my Suburban, but my friend's Tahoe gets better mileage and is much quicker since it has the same drive train and about 800 pounds less to haul.
