Best luxery car ever built

Big Rob, 07/13/2005

1990 Mercedes-Benz 420-Class 420SEL 4dr Sedan

I am an automotive dealer and I choose the car I drive. It's unbelevable the quality the Germans engineered in a car over 25 years ago that in my opinon was ahead of its time. Everyone will complain about there being no cup holders but the glide on this thing is like flying on your living room couch. Even the new ones don't glide like the old 420's. The 126 platform is heavy and long. It …

They don;t build them like this anymore

1990 Mercedes-Benz 420-Class 420SEL 4dr Sedan

Bought the car used in 1994 and added 90,000 miles in 6 years. The car is solid like a rock, very comfortable, will cruise at 90 mph and you think you are going 55. No problems to report other than brakes. It goes through brakes every 12 to 15K miles. Incredible build quality, with a feeling that you are driving a tank. Instrument layout in dashboard is very …

Going strong at 270K miles

1990 Mercedes-Benz 420-Class 420SEL 4dr Sedan

I bought this car with 220K miles 5 years ago in excellent condition, and put 50K miles in 4+ years. No problems whatsoever, just regular maintenance and some small stuff. Just turn the key and cruise in style. The car goes at any speed on the highway, climbs any hill easily, maintains the road well on curves. I do not see a limit to how much you can drive the car, if 1) you buy it …

Love this car

1990 Mercedes-Benz 420-Class 420SEL 4dr Sedan

My car is actually the 1986 model but I love it so much it is hard to get rid of it for a new one. My husband bought me it and we have grown old together. I have been looking for a new car for about 10 years now just because this car is old fashioned, but I have never seen another I like as much. Every time I have it cleaned I am so proud when they call my name and I walk out to claim my …
