The w210s were designed and assembled in Myanmar.[by 8 year olds.]
(Think about it.)
Spring Perch Failure,Etc.,Etc.,Etc.

The W140 Chassis has it's own nightmares...
Buying one with the 3.5 diesel is Masochism.
If how ever you could remedy all the W140s ills (especially the Electrics) AND
install the OM606 engine [as a few owners have done] You would have the best MB produced in the last 50 years!
