I love my 126's two 81 SD's and an 86 500SE , there is no problem getting parts and except for a few engine related parts in general they are not any more expencive than say Honda parts, and they sure are eaiser to work on.

They are comforable , roomy, have large trunks, you have good vision, my diesels get 26+ MPG ,handleing may not be Porsche like but you know where they are on the road.

You sure don't have to look for a star on the hood to tell that a 126 in any of it's cofigurations is a Mercedes.With some careful shoping you can get a car that is great to drive and still turns heads for the price of a clapped out pick up truck..........

Long live the 126...........
