[W126 Coupe] Pricing Question

[Mike R.]

I bought a high mileage 560SEL (~200K) just so I wouldn't feel bad about
running it up more. 

 

Buy yourself a high mileage SEC with the maintenance done and drive it. My
SEC is just over 200K now and I'm doing an engine/tranny swap on it,
partially due to the high mileage (tranny is leaking), but also as an
upgrade. Get an SEC and start planning restorations/upgrades, but enjoy the
excellence of the car every day.

 

Later,

Mike R.

I find myself in need of a daily commuter.

 

Since I lost my 91 in those floods here in Jersey a couple of years ago,
I've been itching for a replacement.  So, does anyone have any thoughts
about what the various model 560's should go for?  I'm looking for something
newer than 88.

 

There seem to be quite a few on Auto Trader and eBay from 2k - 17k for both
SEC's and SEL's.  I know the SEL is NOT an SEC but I may feel guilty if I
put 120+ miles a day on an SEC. 

 

Any and all opinions will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks
