Is this 3.5 liter also succeptable to the "rod bending" issues we hear so much about?
My indy mechanic's inlaws have one of those that he keeps up. He was rebuilding tranny a year and a half ago if memory serves......
He said they are truly nice cars, and that is a nice example.
Yeah my dad had an S420 for a little while. Super nice, smooth ride. The double-pane windows really made a big difference. Also had the "close the door for you" on all the doors.

Man that thing was one engine problem after another though, it was in the shop more than he drove it.
