Re: [MBZ] 300 SEL

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

The W126 380SEL or 300SEL is one of my bucket list cars.  Just came across a 
really nice one in of all places, Amarillo, TX.

Too far to go, and December is rarely a good time to be buying big ticket items…

[MBZ] 300 SEL

[archer75--- via Mercedes]

The local Crystal River, Florida indy shop has changed ownership.  There are 
only 4 cars apparently for sale, but their are no price/description signs in 
the windows.
One car is a 300 SEL that appears to most likely be a 1980s model. If anyone is 
interested, I can stop during the day and check it out.

You are one strange dude. The 380 is  probably the least desirable 126 followed 
by the 300sel/se

Re: [MBZ] 300 SEL

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I like the W126 long wheelbase chassis.  My first choice would be the 300SEL, 
as I would rather sacrifice performance for accessibility and ease of 
maintenance.

The 380SEL is not my first choice, but for $2000, this looks like a pretty nice 
car.  Just not sure I want to make a road trip home from Amarillo.

That 380 is 2k? If it's legit it looks like it is worth messing with.

[MBZ] 300 SEL questions

[Dwight E. Giles, Jr]

Listers, 

My brother is looking at some 88-89 300SEL's. Any flags or common
recurring problems? Overall judgment of the model? TIA

Re: [MBZ] 300 SEL questions

[Trampas]

Personally I would go with the 420SEL or 560SEL, the 300's are just too
underpowered and the 420SEL will give more power and same mileage. 

Other than that there have been several posts about common problems with the
W126, as such I will not list here.
