#1 boy drives a 92 300SE (w140). If adequate care has been taken, these are good cars. Age does make an impact upon them. If you repair or replace as systems fail, they will not strand you.
The w220 is another bucket or worms. The 140 has a build quality that is not there in the newer S series. Far more complex bells and whistles, lower end fabric and finishes, shoddier plastics and fit. Still a bit better than what the newer lesser marques are producing on their higher end cars. clay 2002 s430 - Victor, a Stately & well tailored chap 1974 450sl - Frosch - Two tone green 1972 220D - Gump - She was green, simple and ran 1995 E300D - Gave her life to save me against a Dame in a SUV POS 1987 SDL - Beware Nigerian Scammers On Dec 13, 2014, at 1:48 PM, Meade Dillon via Mercedes wrote: > Other than Dan and Kaleb, anyone else fit this category (owners of an > S-class 140 model or newer?
