  1. My dad's buddy bought one of these from the German consulate and drove it to Graceland for Elvis's funeral, where they opened the gates and let him in, assuming he was a friend (nope). My dad had an old 450 SEL 6.9 in New Mexico in the late 80s for a few years and we would leave pursuing police behind as he laughed, even in the mountains, until they stopped trying to chase him.. I paid $3000 for an 85' 500 SEL in the early 90s and put 100k on it, never let me down once.. sad what the Japanese knockoffs did to the company.. never the same after the LEXUS effects of parts bin sharing forced engineers to lose out to the bean counters.. 96' E class and 00' S class were first of the not as great cars (AMG's great though).
