Back in 1999, before the W220 came out, some guy pulls up next to him in Montana in a newer SUV and asks him "Wow, is this the new Mercedes?" and my dad merely said "No, it's used".

Kind of funny that someone would think that a W126 could pass for new that long after production ended.

Most people think the car is a 1990-1993. I guess that's fair enough, considering that W126 production continued through 1991.
