Great old school top of the line car

September 13, 2017
By Ron from Santa Ana
Owns this car

I had always loved the design of these cars. They came with top of the line design and safety features that were ahead of its time like anti-lock brakes, airbags and self leveling system. Mechanically the engine was reliable but has the normal issues of a 30+ year old car with trim wear, switches and moving parts.

I loved this car

August 21, 2017
By BruceG from North Augusta
Owns this car

I think the Mercedes W126 chassis is the last of the classic styling offered by Mercedes Benz as opposed to moving more to trendy styling after 1991 (definitely ending with the W140 after 1999). This car is the last of a breed and as a car guy I treasure ownership. I currently own 4 variants of the W126 Mercedes and love them all
