1982 Mercedes-Benz 500 SE W126 (Automatic / 4 Gears) RWD [1979-1985]

Summary

Experts consider the 500 SE as the model that defined the golden age of Mercedes-Benz, where the power of the V8 engine meets the design discipline of Bruno Sacco. According to ProfessCars™ estimates, performance remains impressive even by today's standards, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration of just 7.5 seconds and a top speed of 222 km/h. Although fuel consumption is considerable (combined 14.8 L/100km), it is fully justified by the exceptional engine elasticity and the status this vehicle carries. The starting price in 1981 for this model was around 57,100 Deutsche Mark (approx. €29,200). Today, this variant is regarded as a true classic and a safe investment for collectors looking for the maximum experience of the S-Class.
