I had a 1992 300SD that had a motor that was replaced at 99K

full long block was replaced( under warranty) and I was given another 4 year 48K warranty....cost would have been around $14,000 if I had had to pay it

someone earlier that the motor was not the only issue you needed to analyze with the 140's and they are right ..many more issues can cost you alot of money

Seems like they have bottomed out on the resale market....you can get a mid's 90's one all day long for less than $10,000....makes me wonder about those people that bought say an S500 in 1997 for probably in the mid $70,000 and now its worth 14-15K...thats a big bite

But at the same time I can understand...with a 140 you could spend 30-40% of its value( or more) with just an evap core fix
