Owned 5 W126/SEL Sedans, Best Car Ever by Mercedes

I've owned several of the w126 body style Mercedes. I started off with a 1986 560SEL when I was just 19 years old. After that I went to a 1987 420SEL, 1988 420SEL, 1989 560SEL and finally at 1990 560SEL. All of these vehicles were the best I've ever owned. Nothing compares. Not even my 2011 S550 4Matic could touch the w126 body style. The way they look, the way the hood stretches out in front of you, with the Mercedes star shining at you. I'll forever have a huge love for the big bodied SEL lineup. Such power, comfort, and reliability. I've never had anywhere near the amount of issues on my newer Mercedes that I had on my old SEL's. They were so reliable!!! I'd recommend this car to anyone. If you like comfort and grace, this is still a great head-turner. I always get a joy when I see them still on the road today, because it's a timeless luxury vehicle.

Holds up well, no major repairs, have almost 140k miles; perfect commuter car or car for long haul; lots of power and very quiet still...I love this car! Interior is better than any new Mercedes around; craftsmanship is evident
My verdict!

A true example of fine quality. I bought mine used knowing it was going to need about $5000 worth of stuff fixed from sitting ,It had low miles on it mid 60's. Since then All I can say she has well over 200,000. ZERO PROBLEMS! Just do the service's and it will never let you down. Plus if your a "do it yourselfer," these things are a breeze to work on. The myth of its a BENZ??? Thats bs. more nuts and bolts but simpler than anything I have ever worked on. But you do need the right tools when it come to certain things. Not that often though. And there are well tricks to certain things that help. Buy the repair manuel on CD from mbusa.
WHY DO WE EVEN CONSIDER A BUYING NEW CAR

I've driven my 560SEL for 5 years now and every time I get in, I still smile. I didn't think there was a car that could be built like this. It feels like it's carved from a solid block of steel. It has 111K miles and there's not a squeak or rattle to be heard. Sure, it gets so-so gas mileage but it makes up for it and more with excellent road manners and quiet comfort that today would cost well over $90k. On the road, it goes where you point it and never complains, no matter what the speed. I just love it.
