'95 S320 for Sale in Washington Post
Saw '95 S320 with 92K for sale in Post this morning ... $15.9K ...
Have heard about issues with evaporator ... would appreciate comments about this year ... I have driven 98 and 99 versions with 5L and 3.2L ... I like the slightly lighter feel in the straight six ... well, as light as a 5K pound car can feel, I guess. Thanks!

Very expensive
My old boss's wife had a S320. His evaporator died out of warranty, and I believe that it cost him around $4k to fix it. 23 hours of labor, $1000+ in parts.
If it's the long wheelbase version, it might (not sure) have hydraulic load-leveling shocks in the rear. These are failure items, and cost quite a bit. I've read that the soft-close door feature can cost a bit when it breaks as well. The 6 cylinder in that car will need a head gasket sooner or later as well. All in all, W140s are very nice cars, but expensive to own out of warranty. I chose my W124 to try and stay away from the really big bills (but my evaporator still went to the tune of $2000). best of Luck, Troy 1995 E420 83k

You may be interested to check out my offering in the for sale section. It is a '95 and the evaporator was repaired by MB several years ago and is working fine. Great cars.
