11 CommentsPosted as: ClearPOST COMMENT July 7th, 2023 at 4:54pm ESTHansjorg (1) 0This car is a winner. Besides the non working AC, there is no maintenance backlog. Considering the miles, it's one of the nicest W126 I've seen lately.July 7th, 2023 at 4:52pm EST$6,750 bid placed by @cmscollectJuly 7th, 2023 at 4:50pm EST$6,500 bid placed by @SFCarterJuly 7th, 2023 at 4:49pm EST$6,250 bid placed by @HansjorgJuly 7th, 2023 at 4:49pm EST$6,000 bid placed by @SFCarterJuly 7th, 2023 at 4:30pm EST$5,500 bid placed by @HansjorgJuly 7th, 2023 at 4:30pm EST$5,250 bid placed by @SFCarterJuly 7th, 2023 at 4:24pm EST$5,000 bid placed by @EgrimesJuly 7th, 2023 at 3:57pm EST$4,750 bid placed by @HansjorgJuly 7th, 2023 at 3:56pm EST$4,500 bid placed by @EgrimesJuly 7th, 2023 at 3:23pm ESTJhostetter (2) Seller 1Thanks for your bid Hansjorg and your kind compliments on the car.

The color, condition, lack of corrosion, and extensive maintenance history all really Impressed him. It is a striking car in a color combo that just oozes class. Had another fun conversation just an hour ago with a bidder to answer some specific questions. Feel free to reach out if I can help you decide whether or not this solid, clean ride is right for you!

July 7th, 2023 at 10:53am ESTL_Train (0) 0The under carriage of this W126 looks more indicative of a west coast example than an east coast example. Was this car daily driven in the winter or parked in a garage?July 7th, 2023 at 10:33am EST$3,250 bid placed by @Sanch3zJuly 5th, 2023 at 1:10pm EST$3,000 bid placed by @L_TrainJune 29th, 2023 at 4:49pm EST$2,750 bid placed by @Johger45June 29th, 2023 at 9:47am ESTJhostetter (2) Seller 0@Ilovebigtoys Thank you for your bid and inquiry! The AC system needed to be recharged (with R12) to assess further so they chose to not pursue further. The AC stopped blowing cold about 2 years ago. Please let me know if you have any other questions. June 28th, 2023 at 11:23pm ESTIlovebigtoys (10) 0Is there an estimate available for a/c repair? How long has the a/c been non-functioning?

The US spec 420 SEL did not have the hydraulic rear suspension apparently. See the link I found for more information. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjGncPnxub_AhXVkIkEHS64CWsQFnoECDEQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2F126board.com%2Fthreads%2Fw126-sls-hydraulic-struts.14081%2F&usg=AOvVaw211sA1uC2H-emEr4Bg4hxC&opi=89978449 June 28th, 2023 at 11:03am ESTJhostetter (2) Seller 0@Davidsbenz560 Thank you for your inquiry. Sorry for the botched reply. Accidentally posted mid edit on my iPad. No repairs or replacement of the hydraulic rear suspension on record. I will confirm with my father in law. No engine or transmission leaks that can be seen. You may note transmission seal replacements around 120K noted in the service summary folder picture. I have more detail on actual receipts if you would like. There is no indication of any issue with any of the front or rear seat springs. Please let me know if any other questions or any way you could see the car first hand.June 28th, 2023 at 10:52am ESTJhostetter (2) Seller 0No historupy of ant No leaks that I am aware of.
