Well that assumes that you can find an owner idiot that will sell you
a fixed perfect w140 for the same price as a broken w140. Since most
of that money is going to fix faulty engineering it's hard for a
smart owner to prevent it from becoming toast even if you do all the
preventative maintenance. Blower regulators that melt, vacuum/
pressure pumps (two) which kick the bucket, an A/C system which
requires you to replace the evaporator, and window regulators that
break because the windows are heavy, let alone engine wiring
harnesses that decompose because of the heat and the desire for easy
recycling, helpfully frying your MAF.

Assuming you had to spend that much to fix everything that is
broken would be a good bet you didn't buy it in the first place. If
there is a lot that needs fixing its pretty much a sign that the
previous owner was a idiot and didn't take care of it.
