Every W140 from the 92's to the last 99 are going to need an evap at some point.

The headgasket issue is just an M104 thing, it isn't to big of a deal. If it bothers you get an S420 or S500.

These are not cheap cars to keep going though, figure at least $2k a year.

As with any MB, but extremly important on a W140 is a complete maintaince history. W140's do not take neglect well.

The best years are the 97-99, stay away from the V12 unless you have deep pockets.
