Based on the M100 level of tech, the W140 is a technical disaster with massive economic impact to a future owner. The S600 is twice as complex as the standard model, as it would be loaded with bells, whistles and subsystems that can not be hand crafted in the manner one could with a Grosser. Door locks, closing assist, ACC, ESP, Air ride, magic windows, heated seats, moving rear seats, rear seat business tech upgrades, and the over engineered engine with biodegrading wire. All in a shell that looks the same as any other W140 on the road, unless it is LWB. Even then it looks much the same.
I posit the w126 will be held in much higher esteem than a w140 as collectable in future. The SEC and SEL were built much better, with higher quality systems. Far fewer computers to go wonky, and still put together by well trained German employees. clay On Dec 30, 2013, at 6:35 AM, Dieselhead wrote: >> On Dec 29, 2013 6:54 PM, "Mitch Haley" <m...@voyager.net> wrote: >>> >>> For comparison, there are 6 VW >>> Phaetons on eBay right now, all are >>> V8s, and only >>> one has a current bid less than the >>> buy it now on the S600. >> >> They're both money pits, but I'd rather have the Phaeton--it's rare enough >> to be a future classic.
