[W126 Coupe] '91 for sale

[Andrew Sporner]

I have a friend here that bought a 2004 AMG S600L with Bi-turbos for
about EUR 38K
a year ago.  They can be had now for about EUR 28K.  The new price for
this car is
over EUR 218!  I can almost buy a Maybach for this much (and it
probably won't evaporate
so quickly).
