[V8] New car? Ah, no.

[Roger Woodbury]

Aw, it's a good thing that I am not in the market for a new car today.
Otherwise I would be enroute to Texas to look at what might well be my last
car.  

We all paw over the offerings on eBay and other places from time to time,
and today I found what might be the jewel in this year's bunch of oldies but
goodies.  

This one is a 1988 Mercedes 300SE (W126) in smoke silver over Palomino tex
(NOT my favorite combination!).  The thing about this car is that it shows
33,000 miles from new. Based on the pictures and firm belief that no one
ever lies about what they sell on eBay, this car was a one owner, owned by
two elderly people.  

Well, it could happen.  It could be true. The car certainly is sweet.

This is the six cylinder, so the big body will be graceful if a bit slow,
but as a long distance touring car, it would be perfect.  For me it would be
a three season car of course.

It's in Texas, and no, I didn't run a Carfax...I was just interested in
looking at the pictures.  

And of course, like some other German cars we all know and love, Mercedes
still supports this one with parts.....
