Hi. I love these cars. I plan to buy an SEL 300. I have read several reviews on this car. I know the SEL and the SE are the W126 body, but what is the difference between them?

Yes, I agree, the 300 SE 1991 is a top car.
I wore my 1988 420 SEL out; 477223 km and it has lost compression on 2 cylinders. I'm keeping it to restore. The body is excellent, and I've been lucky enough to find a real nice 1991 300 SE, same colour and trim; so many parts are interchangeable.
My earlier Mercs were a 1960 190b, 1969 280 SE, my 420, and now the 300 SE. Maybe I'm an addict. I like cars built well out of iron in and around the sixties to the late eighties; after that most cars (even Mercs) went cheap.
OK, so I'm mature aged.

Yes, I just bought one. Wow, it cost over 54K in '91, and it probably is as good now as it was then. Very well made car.
