The wife's 420SEL, 173k miles. Needs valve guides and suspension work, $2500-3000. PS gearbox leaks. Gonna need exhaust and flex disk soon. Sunroof doesn't work but that's ok. Couple drivers seat panels split. She loves the car (she weighs 90 lbs soaking wet carrying her purse, sits on a cushion to drive hehe). But she also likes some of the early/mid 90s S and E models we've looked at. Been some nice ones on this board but they are all way too far away. This car is PROBABLY good for another 100k if we fix the stuff. These cars are beautiful but begining to look dated rather than classy (MHO only!). I have of course been reading all the "are they worth the maintainance" threads. I know, it is all "Well what do you want?" I guess we don't really know, that's why I am posting this message. Also, WHICH S/E MODELS ARE THE BEST AND WORST? Thanks for your input.
