I'd recommend, but search the board before proceeding. Make sure the diesel has had the factory fix for the 'rod bending' problem before proceeding with a S350(300SD). A lot of members feel that these W140 cars are too troublesome, but I have owned my 93 300SE(S320) since June 2002 and have only had to replace my air mass meter($US300) and completed the 60K service($US500) as well as oil services. This is a great car for road trips attaining around 25MPG in extreme comfort and unparalleled safety. Feels like driving a brick! The big minuses you will read about are leaky evaporators, head gaskets, bad vacuum pumps and faulty engine wiring harnesses. If you find the right car you very well could buy what was an $US80K new car for the price of a new Hyundai or Kia.
