Do you want to sell your car
I had a white one of these with a chocolate brown leather interior. 1988 300 SE. Drove it 280,000 miles in Orange County, California. The kids grew up driving this one. Absolutely the best family car one could buy. Solid. Elegant. Reliable. Beautiful. Miss it.
These cars are still all over Albania. They are built to last.
You absolutely gushed abt. this car & with good reason. I was in service management @ a MB dealership in the early '90s & I agree w/everything you said. Likely the best passenger vehicle ever made. The pinnacle of style, engineering & safety for the entire auto industry, then & now. A statement of ownership that you had made it! Numerous times these were towed in after serious collisions, even roll overs & the owners walked away w/no serious injuries. When the 140s came in, they were IMHO, a disappointment. I mean, how do you top perfection?
My favorite cars of all time. Check out the 560 TEL wagons. It's the w126 sel wagon version. Not sold here but saweeeet!!!!
You’re like a real life Lewis Schaffer who gets rudely interrupted by having to review cars mid-monologue.
I agree a real pearl!
W126 is a superlative.
Nice one Bill.
You review many cars, but in your reviews you can sense where your heart lies.
These always remind me of Victor Maitland’s in Beverly Hills Cop
love the way you talk abaut mercedes i have have a w124
cmon bill! another kraut 126 video???!!!!
I would like to know where Bill was when they had the Hurricane down there in Naples .
I think these are timeless too but my wife saw this and said “I remember those old clunky cars with plastic on the sides”. Hahaha. I suppose I look at this like an engineer and she looks at it like a lady musician that she is.
please make a rewiw onw 124 1992
Gorgeous cars. Get a good one and it feels as special in 2023 as it did in 1989. I have a 123 and a 124 looking for a good 126 now. Love your take on Florida weather sounds like Durban SA bloody awful!!;)
Bill the nasty gay bird. You have such an abrasive voice.
I RENTED THE SAME CAR ,SAME COLOUR IN LONDON FOR A MONTH WHEN IT CAME OUT IN 88.
DROVE IN LONDON AND WENT TO IPSWICH FOR A PARACHUTE JUMPING COURSE . GOOD OLD DAYS 💓.
LOVED 😍 THE CAR.
Indeed, the most handsome S Class ever.. ✨
In Oakland California, nobody has 1 of these until I bought 1. Black, Tan Leather, Sheepskin seat covers and BB's 3 piece gold rims. I miss that car.
Have 1987 have all Options.( Engine are From 1990 .Total km one thes car are 240000 km.The 1990 Engine are only Run 100000km …Solid car tou..
Learned to drive in a 61 ponton and yearned for one of these.
I seriously got teary eyed during this video.
I had a black/tan 1990 420SEL 15 years ago and is, to this day, the best car I ever owned. Since then, I’ve owned 6 newer Mercedes, including an AMG.
I’m definitely on the lookout for one of these now! I’m in Naples so I know where to look!
Just bought a 42p sel for $400 cdn. Hope i can get if going. Been sutting for several years
Sorry being late to the party, but I have to respectfully disagree. The Best Benz ever made is the W126 AMG 560 SEC with the factory widebody kit and the 6.2l V-8.
