Great Car

It is very comfortable and fast I enjoy riding in it, the design inside and out is great. The double glass windows keeps it quiet this is a very smooth car just make sure its in good condition when you buy one.

pick your poison carefully

Greetings All, I bought the '96 S600 with about 140Kmi and thoroughly enjoy th ecar. You must choose carefully. These cars only hold up as well as they're maintained. At 6,000 pounds you'll be hard pressed to find a "car" that provides the saftey, performance, etc of the big W140 Chasis. Finally enough room in the cabin. That great big back seat! Heated of course, seat back reclines, rear climate control! They're are plenty of things to break and repair because the car is loaded with so many superfluous features. Double pained windows really do make the car quiet. The car tops out at about 140mph so watch you driver's license! Fuel economy is about what my T-bird delivers. For the money it is a great value only if really well maintained. Parts are available as these cars are headed for the crusher due to aging boomers.

This car is bullet proof.

I have never had any mechanical problems at all. 235k miles and still runs very strong. I dont think they make cars like this any more. Style and performance.
