the best SDL you can buy!

What a liar! The only way you can spend "over $5K in original Mercedes-Benz engine and supsension upgrades and maintenance improvements" is to get a revised cylinder head and vacuum pump. WTF are maintenance improvements? And how is it possible that "This vehicle has been driven to it's "regulated" speed of over 140mph - certified." when the IP limits the engine to 4800-5100 rpm? It won't do more than 125mph unless you replace the differential or add an overdrive unit. And 35mpg? That's 190D territory.

Well, let's be gentlemen and give the seller the benefit of the doubt,after all it ONLY has 182k as the "ad" proudly trumpets.

This fellow is obviously determined to follow 'ol Phineas Taylor Barnum's theorem to it's illogical conclusion.

Very entertaining from a purely anthropological standpoint.

Sixto, this car was listed before. Here is an entertaining thread about it.

I can't get enough for it to replace it with anything worth my while.

If I manage to replace the S420 with a 94-95 S350, I might not need the SDL
