I have been offered a very nice 1991 420SEC, in good condition with 93,500 showing on the clock. Its got a full service history and drives like a dream. This is proper head ruling the heart stuff, it looks absolutely stunning with no rust and its one of those cars that just gets me going when I look at it
So here's the deal, my wife is happy for me to get it, but it would need to be driven regularly and parked on the road where we live (its a village and quiet and we only have room for 2 cars on the drive). So if I took the plunge and bought this thing what do we think about the practicality of using it to drive 60 odd miles per day?? I am not worried about economy as the company pays for fuel :bannana:!
I AM worried about unreliability, safety and big bills as I already have my W220 to look after. Ultimately if the 420 is good it will become the car I drive daily to work the SClass can be left for special occasions (and maybe sold if the 420 is good).
I dont know why but I absolutely fell in love with this car!
Appreciate your views.
