Is it worth buying?

Have a MB mechanic check out the car before purchase... If everything checked out, then go ahead and buy it.

SEC's are cheaper than SEL's where yu are? Where are you? In the US it's the exact opposite.

At less than $2.k what do you need a second opinion for? If a car runs well today it probably will not self destruct tomorrow.

Any 126 built was a damn good car. Probably a lot better than a Jag with the same miles.

i'm from croatia. you don't see much of these cars here...whole country has about 4.6mil people...capital city (i live there) has somewhat less than a mil....and never in my life I saw a SEC drivin...never....but SEL's are....well, rare, but you see them once in a while.

And, the update...I arranged the day and time to buy the car, and the owner phones me one day before the deal and he's like - you know...er....I sold the car. I freaked out....I just hung up. My friend thinks he's talking BS and that the probable reason is the guy hasn't got clean papers. which wouldn't surprise me, last SEC i checked was...well....a running wreck, and the guy asked about 2k euros for it.

anways....anyone from europe near croatia wanna sell a w126sec? :)
