That's a W140. Big heavy car. Wonderful to drive. Horrible car to fix. Many electronics. There are probably 50 electric motors in the beast. More if you have retractable side mirrors, memory positioning for the rear view mirror, or retractable sunshades. Most desirable in my mind is the 1999 S500 with the stability control option. Stay away from the S600. The V12 is a money pit. The thing weighs close to 5000 lbs. You need the S500 engine to drive aggressively in city traffic. Any engine including the S350 diesel will work fine on the highway with long entrance ramps.
Yes, all side windows are laminated glass which is often confused for "bulletproof" on eBay and Craigslist. First clue is that no one who knows what they are talking about uses the term "bulletproof". It's "bullet resistant". EVERYONE should own and drive a W140 at some point in their life. -Dave Walton On Wed, Jul 29, 2009 at 10:12 AM, Douglas<[email protected]> wrote: > I have been looking at some gassers lately and don't really know much about > them.
