Totally agree. The one W126 diesel that drives like a vergasser! I couldn’t
believe the performance they have when I had mine.

Probably the correct choice. If it were to check out it should be snapped up
since they are getting scarce in that condition…again…if it checks out.

Agreed. Both the 107 and R129 are heavy for waht they are, and drive

The R129 has a nice shelf in back as well as a sizeable trunk. Much more
refined than a 107. Both are more GT cars than “sports” cars. The AMG GT and

also very car-like, unlike the W163. I drove it over 2,000 miles fully loaded

Well, the Z3 is absolutely a gorgeous car. (I'm not fond of the lumpy
looking Z4.) I'd consider one, if I didn't think the 107 was even prettier.
I've bought five of them over the years, we still have two.

I sometimes wonder why wagons/estates are not more popular here. It's all SUVs
and crossovers. I really like the wagon configuration, as basic a car as it was
my Ford Focus wagon was really useful for hauling stuff around, and it drove
like a car not a truck.

Seller was nice enough to include the VIN, which decodes the engine serial
number as 272972 30 624929, which should have the improved balance shaft parts.
The wheels are a bit gaudy but would not be a deal breaker for me if everything
else is good.

Never cared for the 107s, even less for the coupe. I think they looked clunky.
That, and those goofy louvers or whatever they are in the quarter windows. Ugh.
They always seems to be messed up.

Many years ago my then-girlfriend told me her dream car was a 107 SL,
but they were pretty expensive. She also told me that she had no intention
of ever taking the top off. I suggested that maybe she look at the SLC
instead, which models simply did not get the love of the convertibles at
the time
Need the VIN plus some extra photos showing the rear louver windows for
peeling paint.
