Hello all!
I usually spend my time in the w124 forum as I have a 400E but I've always really liked the presence and over built quality of the 140's and have finally started to look around for a good one to purchase. Before I get myself into it too far though, I'd like some comments about the S600.
Really what I'm looking for is a few ideas of how much average and routine maintenance is going to cost, what kind of major (or at least more prevalent) problems the 600's have, what kind of drivability I can get out of it in different climates (ie traction, overheating?), fuel mileage and just general comments concerning the car. I know plenty about the 140 as a whole but would like some more info on specifically the v12's.
I've bought my last 3 cars online and if all goes right, it might just happen again... This time with a S600. The particular one I'm looking at is a wonderful example and the link is here http://www.buynetcar.com/gallery.asp?Carid=135
Thanks in advance,
Jon-Michael
