Ron and Rich: I would buy the newest example of a 140 that I could find. Ron, I have to review how old the car can be and still have Starmark warranty, I think a 93 is too old, I wanna say 7 years, but let me check, unless someone else knows for sure. There is more than likely info at the MB website, I'm not fond of jumping around on the net looking for answers you can find yourself with a little button-pushing.
This is plain and simple: A smart person would wait until a product has matured before buying it. That's my philosophy, always will be. How many examples do you want? About the only real exception that comes to mind is the 202 chassis, although even with that there were definite benefits to buying say a 2000 over a 1994, the engine, etc, were upgraded. The 140 is the "grand" example of this. I know I mentioned this earlier, I think in this thread, about the "value commitment program" for the 140. In otherwords, they were such a problem that they instituted this program to fix the cars, they were THAT bad. You're ALWAYS better off buying the last year of a MB model rather than the first, IMO.
Now dammit, everyone go out and buy a 2002 210 chassis before it's too late!
