Why would the ignition coil fail on a 126?
The wife started out with our 89 560SEL, but she blew it up, so she has
had to go from car to car, blowing them all up as she goes, I cant keep
up with it all.

Cars break and we love to fix them... Sometimes wifes do not understand the
love we have with the cars and why we want to drive them.
My problem is that my wife before we were married drove a Honda Accord, for
the last 5 years she has driven a W126. It was funny when we were dating she
drove my 300SD for a couple of weeks when her parents need her car.
Afterwards she got into her Honda drove it around block, parked it got back
in the 300SD and sold the Honda for $1000 while saying something about it
being a tin box or tin coffin.
Now looking to replace my old diesel and she wants a new car which breaks
less often. Her car has broken four times in 5 years, once the water pump
locked up on the interstate with us, once the brushes in the alternator,
once the valve body in transmission stuck and would not engage transmission,
and once when the ignition coil failed. So now she wants a newer car which
will be more reliable, keep in mind her car is in mint condition but is 18
years old and 200k miles.
I suggested a 1991 560SEL, but it looks like a minivan is in our future. I
wonder how long it will take for her to remember that not all cars are
W126's.

Trampas

There was none. Cant argue with a woman.
LoL, oh bless your soul for trying. But it can't be her fault, it's ALL
THAT
DAMN CAR'S FAULT (etc.).
Shame on you, Kaleb, for not giving her a PERFECT car to drive.
Seriously, hope she did not pooch the motor too badly.
