It do love the way it drives and handles, however.........leaves lesser vehicles in the dust on any curve.
Like the W140, it's a very complex piece of machinery and it takes a skilled tech to solve its issues in an expedient manner.

I don't remember SES light details - I had radiator, multiple electrical things, constant check engine, rough idle, dual cats went out way to early in their life....just seemed like always something simple and stupid.
But oh yes --- I so agree...what an amazing ride and performance that was unbelievable! I loved being the older guy, in the 4 door sedan that knows he can totally blow away some of the younger ones with their hopped tuned rice burners.....
You have good tech knowledge, and the cars are strong --- enjoy it!
