W140 six banger prices are LOW! I've seen 97-98 cars for less than $30K. We thought about one for about a second, then I remembered all the non-driveline potential wallet-busting bits the chassis has. However, for a full-boat luxury car, the S320 is one of my faves. I had a well worn (250K) example once from the used lot as a service loaner, and really enjoyed it. I found the six willing and the chassis amazingly agile for such a big car. Under the hood looks nice with lots of room to work, and the "low" cost maintenace of the M104 is a nice benefit.

The S420 and S500 cars have held their value WAY better, but that's only a loss to the original owner...
