Everywhere else the 116/115 are getting to be extremely rare. And even in Calif, everything I look at, the 115/116 are higher than 123/126. Again, this one seems kind of high. But I'm not that surprised for an auction.

Got it. But I can't see any redeeming quality to want a 116 vs a 126, or a 115 vs a 123.
Maybe that's just me, but the MB diesel kind of hit its pinnacle.
Yeah, 124/210/211 cars have more modern qualities, but also start trading complexities.
Nothing against 115 or 116 cars, and the 116 is sure pretty, I wanted one for a long while. But my stable would be filled with a 126 SD, and then a V12 SL of some kind if I added more cars.
If I was looking for an oldie, I think Id look for a fintail.
Not being argumentative, that's just me...
