I'm sure Hatch knows his Mercs and only sells good ones, but the 300SE and the 420SEL on his website were quoted to me at 22K and 23K respectively when I called about them. Both cars had mileage around 50K if I remember correctly. These cars have been on the website for about 18 months so far and haven't sold. I guess there are some buyers that are looking for a mint 126 that wouldn't bat an eye at that price but they haven't stepped up to the plate as of yet. I'm sure many of us can agree that a 100K mile example can be found for 1/3 of that price for a near mint car. I really like the 126 cars, but not enough to pay 10-15K over retail. Just my opinion.
