^^ Agree. Marvelous car. Also agree that the M103 is the best Mercedes gasoline motor ever made.
Don't scrimp on condition. As you will note from the threads in this forum, one cannot really economically restore a W126 car as far as cosmetics are concerned. It makes more sense to buy the $10,000 one in pristine condition than the $3500 one that needs a little TLC. Mechanical items can be fixed. Paint, interior, rust, wood, etc., not so much.
