W140 As a daily?

Local car that I could buy for next to nothing. ($2,800)

1996 6 cylinder version so it should be fairly unexciting to drive.
Paint is tired but the rest of the car looks fine & no leaks on the driveway it's been sitting on.
Considering it's traveled about 159,000 miles it actually drives well & looks OK in real life.

I've always loved these cars. Do you remember the buzz surrounding them at the time of release?
At the time they seemed gigantic. Now compared to the average SUV, not so much.

Was looking at a much newer one but at $2,800 I figured why not?

Am I nuts? (Not worried about fuel costs & I plan to DIY.)
