Overbudgeted, and you are RIGHT!!! LOL... W140 is probably the most expensive project(for passanger cars)MB ever started. In fact, from scratch to production took MB almost 10 years to complete. '92-'93 has the best fit/finish IMO. Canadian version of '95-early '96 S500/S600 are well finished, too as both have fully leather interior. However, if I were buying a W140 now, I would go for '99 models which is probably the most trouble-free W140s.....
And life many of you have pointed out, MB did the face-lift and "degraded" some of the materials used in order to keep price low to stay competitive.
P.S. 1992 is the most trouble-some year....
