Don't forget the leather dash and special shift knob.

I had one client that bought what he thought was a 1999 S600
in San Jose. He lives here in Seattle and brought the car in for
lack of power. "I thought this car was supposed to have 400 horespower or so. this thing is pretty lame! I am really ticked because this car cost $110,000 used."
When he started it up to demonstrate, I noted the distinctive
sound of a 119 V-8 starter.
One quick glance at the VIN said it was a S420.
Needless to say he was a little peeved having just paid 110k for
a $65,000 used car.
We didn't charge him for the lack of power diagnosis.
