I agree about the electronics, but the S500 has the M119.

My Uncle has a 1994 S420 sedan; He hasn't had a problem other than having the vacuum pods for the auto-doors changed out.

I'd also like to say that the S-Klasse's running costs will be much higher than an E-Klasse. It's just so much more sophisticated a machine.

I think that of that vintage, you need to change the wiring harness as it biodegrades, but I'm no W140 expert.
