Should I buy this car?

BUY IT! It is probably the fuel pump relay or OVP relay fuse as if someone tried to jump start it wrong. Even if something major is bad, the parts on the car is worth way more... hell even selling the car whole is worh more.

Thats what I figured you would say, the fuel pump relay. I checked that when I went there, the date was 1996. Yeah I practically s*it myself when I went and looked at the car and realized he only wanted $1500 for it. Im going to go ahead and get it. What is strange though, when I went there, the car was a 560 SEC, not a 500. Could it be badged wrong?

Probably someone wants to show off... look at door sticker for year made... look in engine compartment for black sticker to tell you whether it is 5.0 liter or 5.6...

Or maybe someone stuck a 560 trunk on it.

It could be fuel pump too but doubt it.

It can also have a dead ignition module. The silver boxes die all the time....

I meant what you said when you told me the fuel pump relay.

I want the wheels. Dibs mufuggers.

LOL... yeah I saw thos wheels too... Lorinser wheels. I too would want them but I don't have W126 anymore. I scored a set of Lorinser wheels with the 15 holes style... super rare for my friend. Right now, it is being refurbished back to original condition. Someone chromed it... lousy chrome job.

The original link isn't working anymore, do you have a picture of the wheels? I Have W126 weheels coming and going all the time - currently have 6 sets on their way to me (mostly Aero I's but also some split rims) I often come across various Lorinser rims, but they were never popular here in the UK, I'm curious which ones are sought after.

You're kidding right? Any 16" 126 wheels are desirable. Any Lorinser or ROnal 126 wheels are desirable.

At this point I think my 16" Ronal Penta's are worth more than my car.

I know the Penta's are desireable but Lorinser just wasn;'t big here in the UK, more a mainland European market, so there is some interest in their wheels, just not as much as anything genuine AMG.

Beats me. What I know is BMW wheels of any size for any model can be found cheap

- not so Mercedes wheels. 15" 126 wheels - even aftermarket ones, are not cheap.

Richard, Are these the ones that are sought after?

I've simply not bothered with these to date as there'd be no interest here in the UK. But as you can see, they are available at around £50 ($100) a set if you have the ability to get them shipped.

I use UPS groupage shipping in containers, it takes a few weeks but I'll buy (via an agent) a fair few sets of wheels, get them packed and shipped to supply a market here in Europe with difficult to find items.

Also there are currently three sets of Pentas available, but not the W126 variety, they look look like the ones fitted to the early 190e's is there still a amrket for those?

Oh wow... those are the one I want... I need that for my car W124... can you help me get them? I wondered what is shipping cost to USA

Talk to Sandborn at :-

I have UPS handling the wheels I've bought so far, I've bought 8 sets as a trial run, they are shipped domestically to UPS who pack them on a pallet and into a container on a groupage rate. I'm charged around $75 a cubic metre, plus paperwork and handling.

For the 8 sets of wheels it will cost me £310 + taxes to ship to the UK ($600) which I actually think is pretty reasonable considering how far they need to travel - that also includes local delivery to my warehouse once it gets here.

My first load is still to go through, UPS have been struggling with my request as this is the first time they've been asked to handle good in this manner. (They usually get it all in pre packed boxes - but they offer the packing service so they must be used to it to some extent.

There are a lot of very obscure parts available on Yahoo auction in Japan and also on

With anything though, the more you buy the more efficient shipping is, so one set might just be a nuisance.

Alan M

Yeah those are the ones.

The last ones I saw on ebay went for $400 a wheel, and were used.

Told ya.

Darn it... I missed this... Hey Alan, if you find another one, let me know... I really want one. Anywhere as long the shipping is reasonable.

If I stumble across some I'll pick them up knowing you want them, UPS should be able to get them to the States for a half sensible amount of money. Although with exchange rates as they are othing is cheap for you guys coming out of Europe.

You want these for a W124 and not a W126, so I figure the offsets are around the ET30 mark?

you are one lucky son of a !!!!! a perfect 4th of july gift for yoursel

lad..
