An '85 in Black pearl with 208k miles. One owner, real leather interior.
Real nice shape. Didn't think I'd ever find one I liked. Talked the seller
(Mercedes new car dealer who took it in on trade for a new Merc) down to
$2500 including tax&title. Surprised everything is in such nice shape, since
it's actually in better condition than the '91 Audi 200 it's going to be
supplementing/replacing (anyone looking to buy an Audi 200 20v turbo Quattro
Avant?).

Anyway, it's still got the original Becker radio (tape player doesn't
work) and speakers... after I get the minor rust around the bottoms of the
doors taken care of I'm going to upgrade the sound a little. Has anyone here
ever heard of putting speakers in the doors of a W126 sedan? I know the
coupes had them, but I want to make sure there's room before I buy any
equipment. Somehow I don't think the stock setup of two 3.5" speakers in the
dash and two 4x6"s in the rear deck is going to cut it for my audio needs in
that big cabin.

Ian,

Check the 87 420sel, which is alsoa 126 body. The 420 have speakers on
the door panel. This will give an idea. I have an 84 300sd which is
the same as the 85. My friend do have the 87 420sel.
