Considering a W140 purchase, thoughts?
Thinking of getting my first W140 diesel sedan. I've done many 3.5L to 3.0L swaps to eliminate the rod bender, so I'm not concerned about the engine at all. But how does the W140 compare to the W126 in other areas?
I know it's a electrical and climate control nightmare, but as far as running reliability, is it on par with the W126?
Any input would be appreciated. I am leaning toward passing in it, just because I'm looking to slim down my collection and wrap up projects, as it looks like I still may need to relocate for my job.
Thoughts?
