Travis K Sure, problem is, the country I live in has no "decent" old Merc (123/124/126) for reasonable prices. One that in the US sells for $2,000 here would be around $6,000, and still would require much things to be corrected. The ones around $1,500-$2,000 aren't worth that at all. Usually fully rusted, falling into pieces that one would not even consider it for parts. Plus, there aren't quite many of these cars here, and we have no junkyards to get parts off. If I were in the US or in Europe, I would already own at least 5 of these no doubt!

Were you a tru masochist all other old cars would be a better choice.

Seat belts and seat belt systems are very misleading when it comes to maintenance costs. One full seat belt system (the only one in the WHOLE country) cost $300.00 from Nissan. Allen Tire in Richmond, VA was going to charge me $505.00 for the whole job ($200.00 labor, plus the cost of the seat belt system from Nissan.). Instead of being ripped off, I researched seat belt replacement videos for two days. I searched every junk yard in Richmond, VA. Chesterfield Auto Parts happened to have the seat belt system for my 1999 B14 Sentra GXE. The car was not even registered in there inventory. I paid $12.00 for the seat belt, went to Lowe's to get the tools required for the job, plus purchased detergent to soak the seat belts to clean the fabric. After soaking the seat belt for one night, I completed the job on the next day. The whole job cost less then $60.00. I saved $445.00! Thank God for KZfaq.

Make sure you replace your timing chain every 60k miles if it's a USA spec car. The 3.8 M116 was equipped with a single row timing chain in the USA and they stretch and wear through the guides. If the chain jumps, you'll be rebuilding cylinder heads in short order. Dual row chains in the earlier and later cars, as well as the bigger M117 engine go to about 100k miles, and by then the plastic guides are usually toast. I ended up doing the chain and guides in my 89 560SL at 95k miles, and a guide was snapped in half.

@@OMGWTFLOLSMH some people like to spend stupid money on these cars, I've done it before, as have many other enthusiasts who like them. Depending on the area, $600 can get you a rust free runner that needs other help.

Aren’t the seatbelts covered by a lifetime warranty? They are on my Acura. I’ve had mine replaced under warranty because they were slightly harder to pull out.

On Mercedes? LOL!

Alex-GenTLe I think it’s federal law. Perhaps the extender isn’t a safety part of the safety belt system.

@@mike73ng Ah, ok. No, here in EU it's 2 years guarantee and then you're fucked. Or you have one of those rare cars from companies that do recalls on their own expenses even for older cars (i.e. Toyota, which anyway here don't import sedans or nice cars...)

Yes! Lifetime warranty all over the world. You just have to proove thet they didn't work...

I have a lead on a cheap parts car 89 300 SE, in Arkansas. Mild frame damage, but ran and drove well when hit. It never wobbled or made any noises! White/beige.

The W126 trans is many times corrected with a fluid flush and a new filter. Each one of mine has had similar issues.

Without a shadow of a doubt I'd ditch the '97 (CL) S500 and put the proceeds into fixing the 1990 S - Class. The '97 is a horrid thing that has aged terribly, particularly in white.

i think I may have one upped you Hoovie. Ive got an $800 '95 S420. interior is starting to fall apart because i live on Guam. alternator just failed yesterday and since its a 25 year old european car in the middle of the ocean, i have to order the part which will take anywhere from a week and a half to a month to get here depending on whether the shippers are afraid of Covid. Soft close only works on front passenger door. power locks only lock but don't unlock. trunk handle pops out but then runs away back inside after about 2 seconds. have to slam the trunk to close it but the soft close does pull it closed. lamp failure warning light is on but all lights work......and that's just most of the issues i can ignore. so in a competition for expensive cheap Mercedes I think I win. or maybe lose??
