Strangest thing. I went to raleigh.craigslist.com and searched for mercedes and the page loaded right up. Before that it just sat there...

Anyway, I don't see why it wouldn't be legit, so long as it's got a clear non-salvage title.

As nice as the W126 is, they don't really go for much.

The problem might be that he's a "newer" tech like me who's used to the luxury of OBDII, factory scantools and electronics. I didn't know what half the crap was under the hood when I first took off the air cleaner on my '85, but for me it's a fun, rewarding hobby. For him it could just be an albatross that he thought he could fix & flip real quick.

The difference between how these engines operate is staggering compared to most other vehicle manufacturers of the same or newer era.
