400E 124 vs. S320 140??

I have been looking for a car for a while now. I have narrowed it down to 2 choices that I like. So, I"m asking for people's opinions as I'm not an expert in the gasoline powered MB area.

What are the pros and cons of the 400E and the S320?? What's the fuel economy difference?? Maintenence?? Personal preferences and why??
Thanks all.

Thats a really hard queston they are two totaly different cars. Do a search there has been a lot of discussion about these two models in the past.

How much do you want to spend?

$10k or less get the 400E.

$10k or more, get an S320.

If you can afford a 1998-99 S320 it would be a better car than any of the W124 E420's or 400E's. The 1997 E420 would be a good choice.
