I also love the W140, but the Maybach does not play in the same division of the W140 W220, does not even play in the same sport!!!
I truly think that the W140 was a much better car than the W220, but everybody knows that! but for the value/money the w220 is simply a better choice. I have a 93 S500 and today with almost 150 kmiles it drives like new and more quietly that most cars available now, just don't ask me how much did I pay for this!!! See what I mean...
