Elegance

Did the W126 500E have an elegance version?

Gorgeous…how .can one import these old rides. If I register it in TZ or UG what is the process and cost involved for regularising It’s use in Kenya?

Hakuna regulization ya converting it to Kenya plates if that’s what you mean.This 8 yr rule ya Kenya is no joke my friend. But you can import to Tz. Then bring to Kenya. Only downside ni being flagged down at almost every stop by hopeful traffic police at every turn.

That thing has a m119 v8 petrol engine without modern fuel injection. It uses a bosch jetronic fuel injection. Big headache. It is a money sink. You will be very good friends with all the dt dobie guys mpaka hata ukuje kujua their relatives. Better off buying a w124 200e with a 4cylinder. Same fuel system but the distributer is cheaper and more available.

You can do ukarabati and fit with with another fuel efficient engine?

Money pit… kuna ingine imeparkiwa mahali upperhill for yrs.

LOgistical nightmare trying to adapt a different engine into those cars. Dont know anyone in Kenya who has done it, except for m111 which came in newer w124 (which by the way had serious problems). The older cars with M102 engines were ok, so people put the newer engines in them which had efi, lazima uchange mpaka new gear box. Another money sink. Personally as a young man, I drove an m102 for a decade, recently sold it for twice what I bought it for. But I know about these cars. Avoid them unless you have a lot of money.

PS: Just realised I confused m102/m104 series with jetronic and M111/m119 with efi. The efi engines are better, but the harness was a headache. Sorry. Either way avoid these old cars unless smaller engine and avoid s class.

Hujaambia watu wa S class poa… lol

Hii masin lazima ninunue Siku moja

Both countires have limits…UG ni 12 years I think…Tz 10 or so

Kazana mzee

What you need is a Bible paps

Its a good car, its relatively reliable if you stick to the e200, the V engines have a tendancy of eating themselves up if am not wrong…You can get good ones for 1-1.5mil right now for the last model years of the same

Nakazana bro. By end of the year inshallah.

UG ni 15 years…so saa hii UG unaeza import Subaru Forester ya 2005

Subaru forester zimejaa huko sana…ni kama Honda Fit hapa Kenya
