Thanks. Yeah, I love my car... just have always wanted a W140. I wanted a W140 before I even bought my W126, but a W140 is almost impossible to find here locally - why, I have no clue. They seem to only reside in huge metro areas of one million or more people. lol.

Maybe if I could get some new front steering/suspension on my car, I would be happier with it. It has more play in the steering than I like. Its my understanding that there is an adjustment on the steering box that will take up this slack... I wish I knew how.

A W140 did finally pop up locally on a local Craigslist... its a 1993 400SEL.... $2450, 125K miles, stated to run excellent, but I wonder at that low price if this car is loaded with costly/hidden issues?
