Thanks Sixto.
My Lexus is a 1990 LS400, with the V8. I noticed you mentioned ES300, which is a 3.0L V6, (same engine as the Camry), so is the 3.0L Mercedes at least as powerful as that? I am sure that the 90 S-Class (even std. wheelbase) is a lot heavier than the smaller Lexus ES300, so it may be about the same power, but the heavier Mercedes may seem slower.

If I get the 90 300SE, I do not mind the lower power. I have never had my LS over 4000 RPMS, as there has never been a need. If I recall- it redlines at 6500.
