I just got myself a 1985 S280 (w126) from the auctions for £600...came with T/T for a few months and main dealer history to 110.000 then loads of bills and service sheets to 154.000, it has now covered 167.000....lovley motor, but i origanally went out to get a 190....Oh well these things happen...there was also 2 C230 estates in the auctions and they never got a bid.......one was a 1982, done 110.000 and the other a 1983, dont know the millage....the 1982 one is still there and the 1983 one is now on one of the online auction sites...either yahoo or ebay.......i'm now looking for a C230, the 280 is a little to big for me, but a lovely motor.
