You often hear the phrase “They don’t make ‘em like they used to” and that couldn’t be more true when said about new cars. This 1985 Mercedes-Benz SD with just 50,000 miles on the odometer is the perfect way to showcase that saying. No complicated electronics and sensors here, just an honest car that is built to a standard that is nonexistent nowadays. The S Class name has been around since 1972 with several models to choose from in that 52-year timeline, and this classic W126 is on the more desirable side.
Cars in this good of condition are few are far between. The interior of this car has been preserved to an unbelievably high standard and it really shows. There appears to not be a single wear mark on the power adjustable beige leather seats (with memory of course!), not a chip in the wood grain on the dash, and not a stain on any of the carpets. Equipped with a Becker Grand Prix head unit and automatic climate control, getting comfortable will take no effort. The exterior of this land yacht is just as pristine as the inside. The grey paint has held up remarkably well for nearly 40 years with hardly any fading, chips, or scratches. The boxy shape of the car is complimented nicely by the pinstripes running the length of the vehicle, the silver body cladding on the lower end of the car, as well as the tips of chrome scattered throughout, and the period-correct 14-inch wheels that will give you a ride that would give a modern S-Class a run for its money.
Under the hood lies a bulletproof 3.0 Inline 5 Cylinder Turbo Diesel motor, code-named the OM617. With a fresh oil service and less just 50,000 miles on the clock, this drivetrain hasn’t even been broken in.
