Older luxury cars are often a risky proposition, but you could do a lot worse than running a Mercedes W126. Available in coupe or sedan versions, this is said by many Mercedes enthusiasts to be one of the last to be designed and built with an eye to maximum quality. The facelifted second series S-class debuted in 1985, and featured the 4.2- and 5.6-liter V8 engines. While these were far from the 6.3 and 6.9 installed in previous generations of Mercedes’ top sedan, they still put out about 200hp and a respectable 288 lb.-ft. of torque. You can find this 1986 Mercedes 560 SEC for sale for C$3250 in Surrey, BC.
