The owner is asking a whopping $28K and understandably so so it may be the lowest mileage W-140 in existence. I have seen it, and it is virtually flawless. But i dont know if it is worth it.
Any opinions? I am a BMW guy and love my car, but such an exclusive and low mileage car is really tempting.

For the love of whatever is Holy to you...don't buy the 600! As tempting as it is, I'd stay away. My friend sold his for $3000 last year with tens of thousands of $$$ in repairs all dealer maintanined and owned from new. I saw a repair bill for over $8000 and the file was huge!
Repairs bills might have you resort to criminal activities and lose your hair, maybe develop a drinking habit.
The 600 does not drive anything like an E38 and feels heavy and sloppy in comparison. If you want a heavier car, buy an E38 Proctection series

I love the W140 and I love V12s, but I'm not stupid
