I feel you. Please tell if you purchase it new? I think you may still find a good one, I'd suggest keeping an eye on Bringatrailer.com or similar auctions or even Autotrader/Cargurus. From time to time I see nice W140 pop-up for sale here and there...
@@NoWheelDrive I bought mine from a old car collector in Atlanta GA. It was originally owned by NHL hall of fame player Sergei Federov. Now the car is in Ohio. I still drive a 1982 Lapis Blue 380SEC
@@ZombieSheeple Wow, that's quite a story!!! I hope you will find another one if you still want to drive W140. As for me I got my W140 from its first owner in Virginia. He already retired and I think he decided it was too much for him to care for such car (they had also a new Mercedes SUV) and their big house and I think they moved close to their kids. It was about 2-3 hours from me, so I decided to give it a try. The only issue with the car was its mileage. It has 200K on the clock. Yes, it was driven. Car has some normal wear here and there including scratches and tiny dents. I didn't add much mileage. Car is mostly parked. I'm in the process of changing stock bumpers and front panels to Lorinser ones.
Hey, you're about 30 mins from me. I have 92 600SEL with individual rear seats for sale or for parts. My white 96 S600 from Copart is still with me. I think I'll remove some valuable parts and keep it in case I need them for my 97 Benz
