I still think the W126 was the best car Benz ever made. No rust issues, drove
beautifully, and my brother got 29 mpg on his. Hard to argue with.

I gratified myself today by first driving a 43yo Benz 280E to the C&C which was
a nice experience. I had not driven a 123 in awhile and this one actually
drives pretty well. It was fun, 123s are cool cars. It’s a gasser so that is a

fenders were plastic (I knew the SL/SC were mostly plastic, but thought
the Ion was more l
I have not even looked at mileage... or tried the AC yet...

Dang, too bad. My parents had a Saturn with a manual at one point. The
clutch feel was "numb" but not a bad car otherwise.
Mileage? Heat and AC systems work?
