Joined the 140 club
After looking somewhat seriously at a MB refresh. I decided to buy a 1997 s320 for 7k
It is a one owner car owned by anal person who kept it serviced meticulously. He bought an extended warranty and it was serviced by a well regarded tech. Under warranty the car had the evaporator, head gasket, ball joints, transmission throttle body and conductor plate done. I don't know how much longer this link will last but it's a worthwhile read I am reluctantly selling the e320. Don't need 3 cars

Sounds like a great buy. Congrats.
W140s are so cool looking, been trying to get a steal on one.

Looks great, but the only drawback to me is the color.
It's not that I don't like black. I do. But I can just picture myself obsessively washing and polishing the damn car to make it look good.

I love W140's. I got two of them, and I want more.
Whatever model you have. Change out the heater tee, and only buy it from the Mercedes dealer-no ebay jobs or aftermarket. Make sure you buy a FRESH one from the dealer!!! The heater tee is good for about 70k miles. Here is a thread to motivate you: the evil that lurks under the hood... is really the devil himself - Benzworld.org - Mercedes-Benz Discussion Forum Enjoy your W140, Martin

Congrats looks great!
I really like the smoothness of the 722.6 over the 722.3 so enjoy it! Make sure the seal on the electrical plug was replaced and fluid although if the conductor plate was done I'd expect its been replaced. If not, do it.
