I know W140's can be SUPER money pits, but I got this guy down to $500 bucks... the skeptic in me tells me to RUN RUN RUN, but the gambler in me tells me that the transmission problems are in the electronics which are relatively easy to repair, and similar to the ones on my ML. CPS is an easy job, and then the other wiring I have is the 92-97 (I believe) had the eco-junk wiring harnesses. Basically the wires deteriorate in the car, because some GENIUS at daimler thought bio degradable wiring harnesses were a GREAT idea. Give me ideas. 500 Bucks for a early 90's S class. S500. Seller told me 150k miles. This one is a MUCH bigger gamble than the 380SEC, due to all the electronics and I'm not too big a fan of the W140's looks. Why must I find these ridiculous MBs and then get too interested in them... I really wish I could widen my car horizons.

Honesly, you could probably junk it for at least $300. Seems worth the risk if you've got some trailer access.

No trailer access, I would need to get a tow, unless I can get some setup for my ML, but I could easily distribute the parts on benzworld.org and make my cash back probably... However as the saying goes, A cheap benz is an expensive one.

Always wanted a big S-class too, but best case scenario ends with you finding a used tranny for $500 and BAM..instant baller/pimp/country club membership holder. Worst case, you find yourself having sex with meth addicts to pay for parts from Stuttgart...

Haha. Yeah, the car doesn't look too beat up right? At least in the pictures it looks good.

yeah a tranny isnt a hard job to do in those. Go for it. Do the doors still close automatically? At least it isnt an S350 diesel...
I am not sure on the wiring harnesses on those, I know they stopped in 95 on the w124's with the hippy wire.

I have no idea. Seller says it has no battery. Sort of suspicious to me. Aghhhhh this is a pretty good deal for a steal but it could turn out SO badly....
