I own a W140 ('95 S500). From what I have read, and from what many knowledgeable Mercedes Benz enthusiasts tell me, this is one of the last quality products MB has put out. Having said that, I have had more than my share of problems with the car. However, it pales in comparison to my friend and his one year old S500. He says he will never buy another Mercedes. Hopefully, MB is working to get back on track. If not, their short term bubble of higher volume than ever sales, will no doubt burst.

I couldnt agree more. I have a 95 S320 that has been the biggist p.o.s. I have EVER owned. Its my 5th MB and prob my last. I have GM cars and trucks that just blow MB away in quality. Its a great looking car and when it runs and its fun to drive and a great status symbol, but if people really new what MB quality is all about they would just buy a lexus for half the $ and way more quality. If a lexus wasnt such an MB wanna be in looks I might but one.
