Braverichard, Hatterasguy and others in the MB Psyche, (not psycho), as that sometimes fits me!

This is a very genuine forum and I learned what I had sought here about MB's, personality, the good, the bad and the ugly. But, better yet, the good people here, who seek the truth about things, as they are and correct matters, and make things right, for all to benefit.

I have always wanted to own a good MB Diesel, but, as things are now with my health and the price of fuel, Diesel specifically, now is not the time for me. If I find the "right car" at he right price...ah well, you know, things are different then.

The V12s are another story, the market has dropped like a bomb! I mentioned in a previous post, before the cleaning out of the forum, last week, that I was looking for my possibly, last car. The W140 series is what I desire. There is no way on Earth or Mars, that it is justifyable, but that's what I want, that's what pleases me. Rolls-Royce Silver Spirits do too. BMW V12's. Must mention Ferrari 400-412's. Now is the time to buy one, before the shock of the price of fuel, comes back to reality. All of them have something that is wrong with design and execution, that takes big bucks to fix, but that's life. Enjoy what you can and get on with it.

Just what was on my mind tonight after reading this topic...Paul.

Paul,

I'm glad you have all the information you need to make a sound, emotional decision.

Good luck

Good for you!

Update:
so far we have a very clean 1997 S320 that looks like it may be a winner. We are also going to check out another nice S420 that I know about that could be a winner.

Finding one of these things is like trying to find a needle in a stack of needles!


Paul you will love the S600, nothing like hearing that 6L V12 scream. Just buy a very nice full maintaince records example and you shouldn't have to many problems.
