A friend bought one of these this week, an S500L. Very solid car. The V8 sounds great too.

The W140 is my favorite S Class. And the last Benz that was truly designed and engineered to be ‘The best or nothing’.

He bought it for £2000 and almost everything works, he has am issue with a door mirror that is permanently dimmed but that’s it.

I really thought more than once about buying one as a first car. There was a Malachitgrün S320 for sale near me with low miles. Tempting..

You sure would have learned how to park, but I would hate to think of the cost of insurance and fuel for a young driver.

They would be horrendously high. Probably more than the wage of people my age

Well he is just shy of 24 and is a test engineer, I think the engines thirst will bankrupt him. It’s bad enough for me getting 10.5l/100km across a whole tank of petrol and I too earn an engineers wage.

I’m 19. Most of my friends still attend school or have an apprenticeship. That means an over engineered 20 year old German luxury saloon will bankrupt the shit out of them.
