which one? w140 or W220 etc.
Either way, cheap as chips now and the 140s are AWESOME.

from experience i know that you can keep the warning triangle on all the way up to the national speed limit. you can also keep it on going round
roundabouts. never had to live with one for more than a day so couldn't pass any comment other than that they go like poo off a shiny shovel.
as for reliability i didnt manage to kill it so it must be better than the current e class.

I've only had experience with a W140 S600 so slightly different spec levels - double glazed windows HELLO! - but the fives aren't far
off.
The torque and build quality is astonishing. They do look a bit pimpish though, but in the right colour don't look cheap or dated.
How much??

fantastic car............cheap to buy.........effing expensive to run.
even if you can replace any parts yourself, everything is electronic. AND EXPENSIVE
suspension, brakes, engine (obviously). if the suspension looks a bit lop sided run a mile!!!!

bullet proof. only weak spot can be the suspension. cracking engine, crap economy. all in all a great big chunck of german engineering for very little
money if you get a good one
