The only way that it drives perfect with 177K on the clock is if the PO spent at least $15K on repairs. If he's got it documented, then consider it.

It's a very costly and complicated vehicle to maintain and it gets miserable fuel economy.

I had considered the W-140........but decided on the BMW for three reasons:
1) low mileage (only 60K)
2) better looks
3) considerably better fuel economy. 22-23.

I still had to spend about $2K to get all the "issues" fully resolved. I can only imagine the issues on a vehicle with three times this mileage.
