I bought my second S420, this one is a 1998, W-140 Body Benz around 2 years ago. I paid $9500 and it has been the best car I have ever owned. (2 BMW's, 6 Porsche's, & 3 Mercedes). The thing is cherry and drives like a dream. They can cost a lot to repair when the big one comes, but I will take the maint over the depreciation of a newer car.
It gets 15-16 in town and around 25 on the road. Not too bad for a tank!
I think the 1996-1999 "S" Class is the best buy on the market right now. Those years of SL are going pretty cheap as well. I have been told by a service mgr at Mercedes and my mechanic that the 2000-2007 are not up to the standards of the late 90's cars.
