I definitely agree, although that massive engine up front does cause it to push some in tight corners. The principle that I work on is that you are always going to pay someone. It may be the bank, the gas station, the parts supplier, or the mechanic, but there will always be someone in line for your money. Luckily I bought my 560 cheap enough that I can afford to buy fuel for awhile.
That W-126 Chassis 560SEL is a sweetie ~ it goes like a rocket and handles like the suspension has secret asphalt magnets embedded , very reliable , comfy & safe .
The horrible fuel economy OTOH , not so much of a problem for CEO's and Kings , Princes & beautiful Women in Beverly Hills etcetera , the rest of us Working Class Schmoes , have difficulty both eating and keeping the gas tank over 1/8 full .
I'd wait for the '88 300D .
