My uncle called and said he found me a 2000 Mercedes S430 if I was interested. He knows I have been looking for a 92-99 W140.

Anyway he found a 2000 S430 for only $8400! The catch? It has 372K miles! Highway miles he says, but 372K? Wow.

The owner says its in perfect working order, but I do not know any details like if the tranny has been rebuilt, engine maintainence, etc. I just wonder what (if anything) is about to go out? Whats the highest mileage 2000+ MB you have seen? Now I have seen some W123 and W126 diesels with over 400K, but this MB is a complex machine with a gas engine and wondering if I should run away from this car as fast as I can, despite the attractive price and seek out a nice, lower mileage W140 (1995-97).

Thanks!
