Offer him $7000 and see. Also, is the timing chain replaced?? You need to drive it and see if it runs smooth. Sounded like a Euro model with 300hp instead of 238hp of the US models. If you really like it, get it. $8000 isn't too bad with all the gagdats installed if they all work.

The most obvious would be the exhaust system. Euro came with a 4 pieces smooth pipes instead of the US restricted one. But even if it's US car, still, looks very nice.

If you want something larger, the R129 SL rims in 17in or 18in fit without the need for spacers and the tire sizes are correct for the W126 as well. You can find sets on ebay pretty easily. One of these days I am going to get a set of 18in AMGs from the SL sport pack just to have them.
