If you are interested in driving a car with the performance and luxury capabilities of a V12 W140 chassis car getting into that club at the 5K level is a steal. I've driven a couple of these cars and I've got to say they are quite an amazing ride. Unlike the big-dog 6.3 and 6.9's sedans dthese cars are still potent performers when viewed by modern standards and they are still new enought (IMHO) to be used as a daily driver.
IIRC these cars went for 130K when new, you can now find them in the 4-6K range all day.
But as others have pointed out there is no free lunch - there is a reason these cars have depreciated to the 5K level. You better be a very capable DIY'er of have very deep pockets.
Or both.
