w140 nightmares
I would buy something else! The problems with the ASR and various wiring harness and sensors issues will be both irritating and expensive. You may want to search the tech forum regarding this. If you do move forward a mechanics inspection including a check of the OBD is a must. I would buy the absolute best one I could find rather than a project. The problems seem to spiral out of control. I would also stay clear of the dealers and find a good independent mechanic. The dealers (at least mine) have no inexpensive repairs for this vehicle. They like to just replace parts rather than do minor repairs. I replaced my own shocks, wheel bearings, brakes, clutch fan etc. for the price of internet parts alone. However the electronics are well beyond my skill level.I do enjoy driving the car, but not owning the car. Mine is an 94 S420.
