An friend of mine has a 1989 MB 420 SEL for sale I am considering buying. It's $3,000. It's in excellent condition-127,000 Miles
He is a Mercedes enthusiast and has oenwd 4-5 of this model year. He has had it for 4 years and had no problems (he says...)

Just looking for some input on the basics- Are they very exspensive to fix- etc.. Any input is appreciated-

Thanks!!

 

You haven't stated anything about whether the vehicle comes with service records, what optional equipment is has, the color, what geographic location; without these things it would be an unfair assessment of the value.

 

Thanks fo the reply- I will be finding out more details- It's Red and lives in Chicago. No rust though- May have lived out of state the first 14 years-

I am lloking more for peoples experience with these cars in general as far as do they have problems in general.

 

Excellent condition, it could command a sales price between 3 to 4k and perhaps some change. But that's with it being in excellent condition, which also include service records. This info is according to Kelly Blue Book and Edmunds respectively.

 

I'b buy it but then again i would buy every W126 if i had the money and a place to store them all. [sm=smiley20.gif]
