    I bought a '93 W140 two years ago for 3K. It's a very comfortable car. Very quiet. Big fat tyres and suspension absorb a lot. I don't know why anyone would put low profiles on it. That's not the idea of this car. Biggest cost for me has been the tax. (I do low mileage).

    I have an S320. I might get an S500 or S600 as it wouldn't cost much more and I now know what stuff goes wrong with these cars.

    Man, if you don't have it, don't put the badge on it! Nice car, even if you dropped the tint it would clean its image up a bit.

    so far... Track rod ends deform under the weight of the car. Oil leaks. Window regulators (front and rear) have a plastic part that breaks under the wieght of the double-glazed windows. Replacement regs are metal.
    AC evaporator can leak.

    Got the parts on ebay and got a merc dealer mechanic to fit them as nixers.
