Re: [MBZ] Nice W140

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

I have only owned pre facelift 140s and not had any problems with them really. 
The other ones were cheapened and has options missing that the early cars had.

Possible wiring harness issues (lower engine harness for sure), evaporator 
leaks, distributor ignition (distributors are prone to collect moisture in 
caps, poor running), and other, less critical concerns.

Unless I fell into a hella deal on one or had one gifted to me, I wouldn’t buy 
a 1995 or earlier W140.

The youngest son and I were talking about how much we enjoyed our W140s and 
that there’s really no better car that Mercedes made. A bucket list car would 
be a 1999 S500.
