Sounds like a money pit. Do not buy those cheap $2k's W126's unless you really want to shell out some money and end up with a $10,000 "$2k" car.

Buy the best model that you can upfront and you will save money in the long run. Also, the 1989+ models had an upgraded interior design which I personally like better.
