Opinions on W126 420SEL?

I am looking at buying a clean example of a 420SEL. 101K miles and it had timing chain and guide work done at 78K miles. Lots of recent maint. Looks to be a 8.5/10 car. I have never been in one or driven one but have always been interested in adding one to my collection. What are they like? How do they ride? Fairly reliable? What are some of your experiences?

Thanks!

You will find more enthusiast of this model car over on the other benz forum. I own a 91 560sel, and love the crap out of it. Great car. Sounds like you found a good one.
