I know quite a lot about the famous 450SEL 6.9 . But i have no idea if buying a pedestrian 450SE with the 4.5l V8 and use it as a dd is a bad idea.
Seriously, i need to stop looking at used car at midnight.

300SD (same body) would probably make a better DD. Drove one a couple times years ago, and it's probably the most solid car I've come across.

Not a bad idea. Very solid. If you do get serious about it just make sure it has been reasonably well kept and maintained.

You're in Indonesia, yes? I've never heard bad things about the 450 motor. Back then, they also sold the 280SE here in US America. That would certainly be less complex. I liked this generation S class more than the one that followed. Drove a 420SEL once - felt big and ungainly.

Yep. I used to have a W140 S600L. That's one hell of a car.
Now i wonder if the old model would be better or not.

Normally it wouldn't be a bad idea. In your case, though, it's not your neighbour's Lexus. Bad Opponaut, no Mercedes for you. Go buy the damn Lexus.
