I saw the conversation about this and I had to put something down.I have three W140'S.One is a 1998 S500 which is mine, 1994 S500 which is my brothers and a 1995 S320 which is my nephews. My story is that I owned a 1993 500Sel (Custom MB paint job,Beautful), then I sold that car and bought a 2000 S500 and I drove it straight out of the showroom. Silver over Black with every option available.After one month of owning the car it had been serviced many times and had many problems. I dont abuse my cars and I take great care of them(There is not a scratch on any of our MB's including my 68 Fintail which is for sale, drop me an email at Snp8990@yahoo.com if your interested)then the battery died,these cars are all computerized.Then me and my brother went out to somewhere and he let me drive his 1994 S500. MAN WAS I FLYIN!!The car felt more solid then my 2000 S500.After driving my brothers,I went straight to my MB Dealership and purchased my baby a 1998 Mercedes-Benz S500 in Obsidian Black over Beige leather.These cars are built like tanks.The windows are nearly bullet-proof, the doors weight a ton, and one thing I noticed as I left a restauant. I saw a brand new E-320 and the rear taillight was cracked,I checked out the thickness of the glass and it was sooo thin that I felt it would break if I just gently tap it.I would just like to say that old Mercedes-Benz's are life savers.My neice had a 1997 Mercedes-Benz C230 with all the goodies.She was driving to work one day when she got into an accident.The car was completly totalled.The cd's in the car were even broken,the doors wouldnt open except for the two front doors.You will never believe this too,my neice(THANK GOODNESS) did not even have a scratch not even a scratch on her.Nothing.and if you take a look at the new C-Class there nothing compard to the old ones.My S500 is a beast.Smoothest ride and most comfortable and most fun to drive.When you drive it man people will stop and stare and be like "WHo is that" and the new MB's are just nothing.My car originally costed $115 thousand and I paid $90 for my 2000 S500, because I quality is terrible.New MBZ are terrible.The new MBZ dont even have the hood ornaments on most of them, and that the MB identity.I wish someone from Mercedes would read this and realize what they are doing.When you drive one of these you wont realize how fast your going you cant tell, the engine just purrs.The car is a beast. THE BLACK BEAUTY. SO far all I have done to it is added a wooden steering wheel,and 35% tint job, and a Navigation.Not tv's.This MB is beautiful!!!OLD MERCEDES ROCK!!i LOVE MY OLD FINTAIL
