Oh, and unlike some cars, you can't throw parts at the problem. Parts for these little beauties will kill you in short order.

RE: climate control problems, there have been problems with evaporators, at least on the early 90's W140s, and this is a BIG job (and very expensive if you have it done).
Alas, there will be times when you must buy new parts. Take, for example, the infamous door closing pump, which runs over $1000.
I'd read a LOT of posts on W140s before I bought one if I were you. They are absolutely wonderful to drive, but unless you have a lot of time to do your own work (and are very comfortable with complex electronic troubleshooting as described by KenP), or are willing to spend major $ for someone else to do repairs, you may be in for a rude awakening, especially in comparison to your experience with a W126.
