I've been working on a '95 S500 for a friend up at a local shop for another car he has there I'm going to pick up. Anyway, that W140 is pretty complex beast... even for basic PM.

I did the wiring harness on it, misc vac lines, motor mounts, trans mount, service misc stuff, etc. It's almost as irritating as an LS400 to work on. Some of the front suspension looks easier to rebuild than a W126 but not totally. All the doors still pull themselves shut too. The car has around 130K mi on it currently. I'm amazed at all the on board computers it has...

If I ever opted to purchase one, I'd spend the extra cash up front for a better vehicle. The infamous Evap Core, working vac system, etc. I don't mind fixing problems as they arise but there's only so much I can keep fixing before the car needs to be sold...
