    About this ebook

    The Mercedes 126 S-Class of 1979-91 remains the most successful premium class saloon in the company's history and is considered by many to be one of the best cars in the world. More than quarter of a century after the last one left the factory, close to a quarter of all 126s remain registered throughout the world. This book will enable you to avoid the most common pitfalls and faults that otherwise can ruin the ownership of a 'Sonderklasse'. Packed with the sort of advice only normally obtainable from years of experience, it will act as your own personal marque expert. Specifications and valuations are included along with a detailed guide to buying the best car at the right price, and finally, how to keep your 126 fresh and reliable. This practical and instructional manual will be a valuable addition to the bookshelf of anyone owning, or aspiring to own, a 126, and is fully illustrated with 250 colour photographs.

      An outstanding, in depth overview of virtually everything Mercedes W126 S-Class an owner/buyer could attend to themselves (as opposed to taking to a mechanic) and many that most owners probably wouldn't try but either way, it provides a deeper understanding of all of the important systems, known issues, specific troubleshooting, maintenance & repair.
      Could potentially save an owner/buyer thousands of dollars.
