[W126 Coupe] MB BMW

[Kent Kihl]

I had first 500 SEC 1984, then a 560 SEC 1986, then a 420 SEC 1987 and then
a BMW 750i 1988. Between 1985 and 1991 all of them except the 560 for about
2 – 2.5 years, the coupes kept their value fairly well, the 420 I actually
sold for just little more than I had bought it for 2 years earlier, the BMW
was a complete disaster, lost 75% of the purchase price in about 2 years, it
was impossible to sell. It is of course good if you are buying a few years
old, you can get them for next to nothing, but it is likely you thereafter
have to keep it for the rest of your life.

After the BMW 750i and some more various MB’s, a Jaguar XJS V12 and two
Rolls Royce Silver Spirit, there is no doubt the car (cars) that was the
best was the Mb coupes, so now after many years I bought myself the fourth,
the 560 SEC 1989. Not as sporty as my Saab 95, but for weekends it is great.
