7:25 That engine bay was so clean I laughed. Incredible.

this is typical mercedes benz. a great car with a great name and very expensive but the cheapest switches that was to buy

🤣...You and your birds!...Another entertaining and informative video. Great model merc too 👌...PS...Nothing infuriates me more than someone calling more than once before i return their call. A friend called me 9 times in a row recently!...We are no longer friends!

The song on the radio was Def Lepperd. Also the fuel gauge needle was moving back & forth rapidly, during the road test.
Nice car. Mercedes doesn't built cars like that anymore.

Is it for sale? What's the price?

The reliability of these cars put Honda and Toyota to shame.

My dad had one of these a 91 model, same color and interior. It was the first car I learned to drive in 92, the worst thing about this car was the power, or lack of it. But genuinely going for a long drive with work it was super comfortable.

A class of the century. unbeatable

Still drove my W124 300E, and like W126, but my favorite is W108/109. It would be very nice to present some of them.
Always pleasure to see your presentation.

I agree with the comments that it's the side comments that help to make it--I am old enough to get Idi Amin references, and I like that you think of far-off places--but what really make the reviews good are the deep appreciation for fine workmanship, the awe apparent in your voice, the oh my god it's so *well-made*! stuff. I am only a virtual tire-kicker, though I'd buy one of these at once if I won a lottery, yet I try and understand the complex engine and frame M-B designations. Very confusing! You had another review, I think of the W124, which seemed a more luxe car to me from your review than this plainer-looking W126, yet it was not S-class, but apparently the M104 engine, as you said, has a degrading-harness issue every time, and the M103 is the engine to die for--single-overhead and not (as in the W124) dual-overhead M104 ... Anyway, enjoying the reviews, although ... leaves and birds are not going to hurt you!

Beautiful

22:20 that call maybe from your mother LOL

Is this car still available?

I had the AMG package for this car. The whole car is a money pit. The suspension was under capacity and leaf springs and shocks etc constantly broke. Oil leaks everywhere- Vaccum hoses leaking etc-etc. The car is the worst they ever made. TADA!!!

+K P you are the first person I have ever seen call this vintage of Mercedes a POS. Bizarre comments.

POS Car I have never owned another. I guess you cant see past the Name?

K P what on earth are you talking about? Are you feeling ok?

Throughout my youth I knew when I saw one of these the owner had to be a wealthy entrepreneur. In my eyes Mercedes was as royal as Rolls Royce. All the nighttime TV dramas featured this car for the rich people. This vehicles design is a work of art that looks strong and powerful.

I love so many cars,
And to just drive,
I would be hard to pick just one

“Every car was designed by an engineer except Citroëns.” So cruel...

I’m relieved, having owned 7 DS series over the years. Having said that, working on my recently acquired ‘89 300se is such a pleasure in comparison.

I'd like it to be known that I love Citroens.

Its jewel came from heaven

I've got a white European spec 300se, it's my first car, excellent bruiser!

the video is nicely done; however, please try not to be so wordy with the back story about the manufacturer. also, when talking about parts of the car, try to remember to focus the cam on the items/parts your are speaking about. zooming out a bit would help the shot. remember: the car is the focus, not you and the happenings around you. prices would help the sale. just use an overlay at the end which tells people the prices mentioned is subject to final sale and final agreed upon price.

From where do u get such ckean cars?

The 1989-1991 Mercedes w126 Series 2 are the best S Class ever made. I use my 420sel as a daily driver and wouldn't trade it for anything.

When I was a kid , I usually sat in the back of one of those Merc. Nice car.

US spec headlights are so F’n fugly

You can buy the euro headlamps and wiring kit. Shockingly, it's not thousands of dollars.

Typical Yankee, thinking the Middle East is all desert and shit.

We love ours too
A pre facelift 300SE
Condition I wish as good this one but still a magnificent car

This is also my favorite Mercedes S Class. Like you, I prefer the SWB version. The 3 liter in-line six is a really lovely engine too.

The 300 with the M103 engine is so reliable ! It can last forever ! It's truly a wonderful car. The W126 is definitely the last best reliable Mercedes produced.
