Which W140 Years to Look For

Well I'm hunting around for a 140 S320 and have been reading everything I've been able to find on the shop. I've come across a number of different opinions in regards to what the better years are for the 140 chassis sedans. The fully aggreable opinion is to avoid the 92 as it was the first year with a number of not-yet addressed issues. Then there's the topic of the price drop of the S-class in 95 and how that reflected on the quality of the materials in the car. And finally the plain and simple answer I get is to look for one that is as young as possible, preferably 97-99 because the kinks of the 140 were mostly worked out by then (I say MOSTLY with caution. . haha) Anway, just though I'd create a post to see what people's opinions are on the specific years for these cars and which years they'd recommend hunting around for. Thanks!!
