I owned many 560's and ask people what do they think of the 600SEL 1992. They all advised against buying it. I bought the car and it cost me about 2000$ for miscellaneous repair and I expect additional 1500$. I believe that S600 from 1996~1999 W140 that has 12 coils (unlike early 600's) I believe that they are the best MB engines ever made. If you see 12 coils (NOT ONLY 2) go for it. It will cost you a couple of thousand dollars to fix some issues but then, hopefully you will have a lifetime car.
The M120 engines are mills not only powerful engines. Don't forget to ask about the air mass wireing harness work and the general wireing harness work. The wireing harness work is too costly.
You will notice a big difference on driving between 500 and 600. All the best...
