Being a W140 owner I watch the traffic in the area for S600s. If you desire this sort of car they can be had cheap, even really nice examples. The key is to do your due diligence and get a PPI or have records that show the wiring harness and AC were dealt with in the past.
Amazingly, despite the reputation they have for being significant cash vacuum cleaners, they're really no worse than the W140 with an M119. The systems are much the same and if they have made it this far without issues are fairly robust. I think a lot of the reputation they have for reliability (or lack thereof) is anecdotal. Granted, they'll beat you up at every gas pump, but if you lust for this sort of thing they're really not that bad.
