Well, not to start fanning the flames again, but after paying too much for repairs on my 140, I'm getting a W220! I'm sick and tired of paying too much on repairs for it. The comfort-fit feature on the seatbelts keep going out, I'm on my 4th pump for the door closers and have already had to change the evaporator on the car. Enough is enough for me. After 125K miles and 9 glorious years of ownership, it's time to move on!!

I just test drove the '03 S500 and must say that it is indeed quieter than the 140 and they've finally upgraded the interior trim quality to match the previous 140 chassis. I definitely fell in love with the car!

My only debate now is whether to go for another S500 or get the S600! With the turbocharged V-12, I'm quite tempted to take the plunge!
