My dad had an s600 v12 in the late 90’s up until 2005 and it was my absolute favourite car as a child. Those long journeys is the back seat were the smoothest ever

Doc in some ways yes. Its got more cool stuff than the 126 and having had both, build quality is on par, yet the 126 is the one that will be running for longer, its more reliable due it being not as complicated. 124 126 140 129, favourites i wish id bought and put in a cocoon to relish now!

Back in 1997, if you owned a S500, you were on top of the game. S500's were respected back in the day, like Rolls Royce's are today. A great analogy is this: In 1996, if you drove an S500, it's like driving a Rolls Royce Ghost today. The S600 was like driving a Phantom today. No one had it other than corrupt stock brokers, credit card scammers, high class residents, and the wealthy 1%ers. Nowadays, I see a brand new W222 S550 virtually every street in Los Angeles. 2k down, 1,200$ a month lease... you couldn't lease W140's, it'd cost you an arm and a leg to finance it. I'd prefer a very well maintained, low mile W140 S500 or S600 rather than a new S550.

All it's missing is the rear power sunshade and I'd love to fine genuine Mercedes side retractable shades but that's virtually impossible. To complete the look I'd wanna put the 18" AMG monoblock wheels from the grand edition. Next on my list if I can ever get my hands on one is a black on black 1997-1999 CL600.

Lewis no pre-'95 car can ever be "second" to a post-'95 one. Post -'95 cars are designed to be unsevicable after a decade at the most, they are like expensive disposable razors. Look at how most people swallowed the bullshit; they gave you plastic headlamps and how many of you reckon you like them? Plastic headlamps are crap, get real about it. Or when you were a kid, and all headlamps were glass, did you dream of the day when you would be able to buy a car with plastic headlamps? A car that looked pretty much like any other car? A car that would force you to pay for expensive repairs to systems you would be better off without? W126 pisses all over this one in any area that actually matters.

Tony, glad to hear your w220 has been reliable but it is true Mercedes cut cost with the w220 line. The body on the w220 were not fully galvanized from the factory and instead used some type of wax base corrosion inhibitor which doesn't hold up well to salty conditions. You can also compare the thickness of the hides used on the seats. The w220 is much thinner, where as the in the w140 and w126 they used 1 cow for each seat (embellish), that's why the interiors in these cars hold up so much better. Anyways enjoy the w220.

I own a '83 W126 500SE as a weekend cruiser and its probably the best built S class of all time, 36 years old and the leather on the seats are showing zero signs of wear. Its amazing how thick the leather on these are! The problem with the W140 is that early models suffer from electrical problems due to breakages in the wiring harness (especially now that these cars are getting older the plastic which insulates the wires is beginning to get brittle and crack, causing wires to touch each other and create all sorts of electrical problems) which is secured to the floor and behind the dash. To fix this the entire interior needs to come out, including the dash which is welded on. There was a facelift of the W140 that came out in 1996 (to be recognised by clear indicator lenses on the rear, such as the one in this video) and MB seemed to have resolved the problem with the harness but unfortunately cost cutting already became an issue with mercedes in the mid 90's and there have been reports that facelifted versions of the W140 don't have the same buildquality - cheaper plastics in certain places - that early models did. So if you want the real S-class experience you should probably go for a pre 1996 car and just set some cash aside for a new wiring harness somewhere in the future.
@DIYDanCars
@DIYDanCars 7 жыл бұрын
You're correct. Mercedes decided used a biodegradable wiring harness in their cars for the early W140's, which unfortunately was a total disaster. I believe the later years of w140's didn't use a biodegradable wiring harness, but don't quote me.

Apparently the S-Class involved in the accident was already wrecked from a previous accident, after it was stolen from the owner some time ago before the august '97 incident… That Benz should have been taken out of the road regarding the bad damage it got, but it didn't happen… So it got kinda restored and continued to drive around regardless that one accident where it got stolen… Plus, it was a S280… just a simple entry level S-Class… the smallest engine of the W140 model! What a shame… The owner (which was a journalist/photographer at that time) apparently wanted an S-Class to show off, to be like the big guys… but hadn't enough money for a S500 or 600…

In the crash that killed Diana, the only person to survive was wearing his seat belt. Mercedes claims that a person in one of their cars traveling @ 100 MPH or less will survive the crash if wearing their seat belt. That make a strong statement to the integrity of the automobiles Benz makes. My personal favorite is a S600 armored series.

For those of you who are lucky to have such a vehicle you really have the best! For those of you who wonder why it is such a great car..now you might understand.....it is the car that every one else looks up to! It really is the " BEST" i have owned this car 22 out of 23 years.. over 180k..S350 Turbo Diesel ...i have other (benz) cars..but this is always a treat to drive.

Well known fact that W140 and W124 were the end of an era for MBZ, with introduction of W220 and W210 it was clear that some inferior components were being used in the interests of cost cutting, I saw this firsthand since i did all repairs and services on our Mercedes’s

I had a W140 when it was ten years old with 200,000 miles on the clock and put another 100,000 miles on it with pretty minimal cost. Got a same year low mileage Jag XJ after that and everything went wrong. W140 is The Daddy

W126 has a calm elegance that just don't appear in all this over complicated modern designs. W140 comes close. But all other designs ever since couldn't capture that essence. They were good cars with all kinds of technology but the presence of 126 and 140 is something different.

I knew of this car from reading Car and Driver magazine in 1997. And from one article i could tell it was one of the best cars in the world. I was always impressed by how heavy they were. I equated that mass to safety.

Watching this in 2021, W140 indeed stood the test of time and still the best S Class ever. The new W223, especially the interior is a joke. And W140 is the only S-Class that has flush fitted side glass windows.
