I would have bought a 140 (97-99). But, like Dan they are very hard to find. When I did find one they were either turds or they wanted WAY too much for them. Plus, I have really enjoyed my current 7 series. I think the 98-2001 Bmw is the best one they made. They fit me well and look good.

I've put searches in for W140s in Tulsa, OK City and Charleston. If I see anything pop up I'll be in touch. Sadly, the initial searches yielded pretty much nothing. I'm still at a loss to figure out why W140s are so hard to find..." I feel your pain! I have been on the search for either a 97-99 S Class (just like you) or another 7 series BMW. I did finally strike gold! Yesterday I bought a 2001 BMW 740iL with 115,000 miles -- 2 owner. The first had it for 8 years and the second for 6 years. The seller has only put on 25,000 in the last 6 years. During that time he also had the 100,000 mile service done at the BMW dealer and they did EVERYTHING. Poor guy. Anyway, I am having to have it shipped from Nashville to Wichita in an enclosed trailer. I am excited because it has such low miles (compared to my previous cars). My current BMW has 217,000 miles.
