MBZ380SE, I can NOT agree with you........more! You hit it right on the head. The 140 is an anomoly at best. Everybody hated it when it came out, now everybody loves it and think the 220 is some freak 'o nature. Compared to the 140 when it came out, the 220 is solid GOLD.
Ronald, I also agree with blackmercedes comments wholeheartedly, so read them carefully. You didn't state the year, I assume a 420 isn't too old. No matter the year, one thing blackmercedes didn't comment on was leaking steering gear boxes, so watch for that. I'd like to double up on the warning about leaking A/C evaporators, this is a big big job if it needs to be done. Is the car new enough to get a Starmark warranty? I think about the only way i'd buy is from a dealer under the Starmark plan. I do love the 140, don't get me wrong on this, just be careful.
