Looking right now at a 1987 560SEL, made an offer on a 1989 300TE w/99k....guy wants too much as the history is not fully documented.....if the right 300sdl came up maybe or a 560sec (YES).....basically, any really nice w126 sedan or coupe (whatever the chassis number is for the sec)....clean 300e....

going to replace the 84 300TD....miss the better handling of the 124 and the power of the 560 is quite seductive.....whatever I find in the above models at the right price with a compleely documented service history. So far only the 560sel is fully documented. It is so damn big, though. I cannot imagine throwing a w126 around a bumpy mountain road the way I used to do with my 124 sedan. The 124 is the best handling car I've ever driven.....better than the 91 Porsche C2 I sold (treacherous on the edge).....only the 95.5 S6 Audi Avant could be driven faster but it was more expensive to service and road like a truck with the modified suspension.....and could not clear the speed bumps at the airport.
