Sorry to heart about that. Your car is the S 500 L? Why not just S500? Is it a special edition or something?
I know about all these issues with the W140. However, I just purchased a 1995 S350 with a bad engine at 171K. I checked all the service receipts and it seems like the car was trouble free it entire life so far. Just maintenance and no repairs. Then I also came across a man who owns a 1998 S420 with 139K miles. He acquired it at 80K miles right off lease and the only repair he has done on it is to fix a leaking power steering pump. On the other hand, there are many people like you who always have something to repair on their W140.
