That's more 'Barge of the week' tbh?

Buy it, Run it until all the ancilliaries break, break it, keep the engine to put in a kit car.

Sorted!

Wonders how many people have thought No, Its a smart car, till they look again!! lol

[confused_buyer]

I reckon that is a bit on the pricey side assuming it is sold as seen.

You can get all working facelift examples with a lot less mileage if you hunt around.

Like it, even the colour works for me.

Bio-degradable wiring loom insulation a problem on these early pre-facelift W140s. Beware.

IIRC these export well and it'll still be worth 1000 Euros when the MOT expires.

[Craiglamuffin]

Only 1 month till it's next MOT would worry me.

[rossub]

Cant argue with the quality, but I've never really liked the look of these. They look too big for their chassis. Like an over-loaded wheelbarrow.

I bought a 52 plate Honda accord type S (2.4) from HMC. As dealers go he was alright, but the car was faultless.

Never liked this generation of S Class. They were IMO ugly and oversized when new, Now if it was a 1980s 5 litre S Class....................

We had a W140 S600 which we sold on a couple of years ago:





Absolutely incredible cars and can be picked up for not a lot of money these days. But, when they go wrong, expect your wallet to be well and truly sodomised. Also, I still think that the road presence these had is yet to be bettered.

Contemporary Lexus LS - Yes, Seven series - yes, but these to me are a real low point in Merc styling. Massive, slab-sided, poorly proportioned (actually sounds more like a description of my ageing midriff)

As much as this W140 S500 is tempting. This W126 500SEL is more up my street & for the same cash too. http://www.hillingdonmotors.co.uk.razsor.autotrade...

Or this Puma & £500 change? http://www.hillingdonmotors.co.uk.razsor.autotrade...
