W140 chassis or 1992 to 1999 S class is the most over engineered Benz to date with over a $1 Billion investment on design and safety and most comfortable ride, head turner road owner and especially S500 being the most trusted V8 5.0 engine in Benz history. The only car to rival this king is the short lived brother 1995 S350 turbo diesel inline 6( i know with the rod bender and all but by 1995 model that issue was fixed) and personally i own both models 1992 300sd (300.000 miles currently) and 1997 S500 ( 65.000 miles and a gift from my Brother ) and both are awesome on their way. Mr Benz, Mr Maybach and Mr Diesel should go down in history as Car Gods for inventing and giving us such a wonderful creations.

Well this is my third w140 s class, this one is a 1997 s420 with only 235k pampered miles and it still gives me a great feeling to get in and drive. My wife's car is an 05 s500 4matic, and I would much rather be in the 97! We've owned several other Mercedes styles,but the w140 is the best of the best! Half way do the maintenance and they'll run forever. Once you spend time in one you will not want anything else! ENJOY!

My 1997 S420 is the worst car I have ever owned! I bought it with 80,000 miles on it and now have 160,000 on it. I have a lot of problems with it. The engine is good and everything but the trim on the doors was coming off, the rear passenger side window doesn't work, the soft-close door/trunk feature doesn't work anymore, the A/C isn't as cold as it use to be, and the brakes squeak very loudy although they were replaced. The black paint is starting to show its age and rust. The front springs are squeaking and need to be replaced too. Everyone else that owns this car doesn't have these problems so maybe I got the bad apple of the bunch. I do like how solid and fast this car is at high speeds.
