SEC Widebody in Japan

Post by ak3249 »

I just cant seem to find the right one. I always get sooo close but its never perfect. For example just found a 91 SEC 6.0 Dohc with just under 40,000 Kilometers, in the color I want with most the options I want (I think it even has a refrigerator in the front). BUT it has the M119 :x :x

J-Auto is mega $$$ - guarantee that WB is over $100k. They have the best of the best and really specialize in W124 E500's or E60's, but have nice W126's as well.

Do you have the link to their website, I'd be interested in checking it out.

My lord, what a beautiful example. If I had the funds I would purchase it, and just keep it in humidity controlled storage for three years until it turns 25; then legally import it in. You are NOT going to find a better example than that. Close second would be the one found in Italy last month. But once again, waiting on the 25 year rule is the kicker.

Daniel is right - come 2015-2016, the 1990-1991 Japan widebodies will be quite the object of desire in the States, given the 25 year limit on EPA/DOT mods requirement. I am hoping I have a spare $50-75k or so to snag one for myself.
