Thanks for the replies so far.

I forgot to add that as these cars are all gray market vehicles (and there's no such thing as a Starmark in my neck of the woods) warranty is a non-issue. The only engine sizes that the local distributor imports here are the 200 to 240 variety with the exception of the S class, which are the S280s, the smallest MB makes for the S class.

That's the only reason why I'm considering a W210 as I think that a W140 would still be a better car over all. I just want to be realistic with what to expect in terms of maintaining them. I'm alright with the 500E. It's been okay actually. My fear lies in all the electronic doodads of the W140, which, admittedly, makes the W140 the great car that it is (in addition to size and ride quality).

Is there any reason why I shouldn't be considering these cars? In other words, stop me now if any of you think this will be a big mistake...

Thanks!
