Hey guys,

I have an opportunity to get a 95 S500.. It is in immaculate condition 165k miles.. Ther only thing that is wrong with it is the a/c compressor is shot, and the passenger side headlight wiper is stuck.. The asking price is $3,900... What are some of the issues that might present themselves or that I should look out for before purchase?
Thanks guys!

it is white.. And doesn't have the rear parking assist antennae..

Hey guys,

I have an opportunity to get a white 95 S500.. It is in immaculate conditioninside and out and has 165k miles.. Ther only thing that is wrong with it is the a/c compressor is shot, and the passenger side headlight wiper is stuck.. The asking price is $3,900... What are some of the issues that might present themselves or that I should look out for before purchase? What is a good price that you feel wouldbe acceptable? are there many failures that happen with this model?

Thanks guys!

PS it doesn't have the reverse indicators I LOVE those!!

I guess the owner told you the compressor is shot, the compressor is not a bad job, if it is the evaporator it is a minimum of $5000 and the entire dash comes out, It is an issue for all 140s except the late 90s My dealer designates this job to a employee or two at least 8hrs.

W140 are very nice rides - but sooooo expensive to maintain.

Hmmm.......here goes. A/C evaporator, engine wiring harness, assorted front end parts, leaky steering boxes and pumps, catalytic converters, pneumatic locking/closing assist pumps, window motors and regulators, climate control blower motor and regulator, throttle actuators and traction system stuff........

If you own a W140 long enough, you're quite likely to have issues with these systems at some point. Proceed with caution.

engine wirring goes bad do to original bad wire from factory,at least get a 96.Other than that good car minor stuff,like,ac,window reulators are maint. stuff
