Mercedes was once the best car in the world, extremely reliable and quality cars. Not so much today, if you can make it past 5 years of ownership without major problems you are lucky. Most people won't buy an S-class older than 10 years, because of how unreliable they are and the repair costs are just outrages!
Had 2, both 5 litre, one coupe, one saloon. The smoothest cars I've ever been in, years ahead of anything offered by BMW, Audi and Rolls Royce at the time, but still not as stunning looking as a W126.
@detonater1348: I AGREE WITH YOU 1000%! THE W126 LOOKS OR RELIABILITY CANNOT COMPARE TO THE W140…I HONESTLY THINK THIS IS THE BEST & LAST GREAT MERCEDES PRODUCED…!
Единый Создатель миров сжалился над людьми и подарил им *Мercedes.* Всем владельцам MERCEDES здравия и благополучия ! Были W201, W140, четыре года на W124, 1985г.(2.0, 4 - ст.ручка, pierburg, самоблок). Я заглянул в Вечность. Сейчас вновь на синем W140 S320L.

@@leinadster Yeah for S-Class only. Not his last design overall, as he approved all cars designed up until March 1999. That includes so many 2000s cars, up until 2003.

As much as I love Mercedes of this era, you gotta admit it was quite shady of them to reverse engineer the Citroens Hydractive system and claim they developed their own system, rather than license it like Rolls Royce and Bentley did.
Still the best car in the world.
indeed at S320 1998
Agree
agree ❤
The last of the best Mercedes-Benz S-Class
True, all that came after it was unreliable and compromised!
@@goru426 unfortunately yes !
I am lucky and Blessed to own a 97 s320 and I can easily say it's best car I have ever owned.

‘97 S320!!!
For 1991 the tech and features in this car were out of this world
Caused some outrage as people believed it was too big to fit in anything

Love this car.
Still keep mine since 1993 with 6.000 kms only.
The best Mercedes.
Mine only has 293km.

This is the best s class of all of the models I have a 99 s500 and I luv it I will keep it forever. Benz life!
I got the 99 coupe and it feels good to be the only one on the road, being a rare car! I love the 140
Best car ever. Thanks for sharing!
Can we please go back to the 90's design with today's technology?
I have a 500 SEL 92' and I love it, still the best car in the world after 30 years.
Best music I ever heard.
i prefer this model to the new ones
W140 forever 👍👌☝️

Pretty sure Mercedes only care about the original owner and most new S Class owners change within 3 years.

Sad, isn't it?

I disagree, this looks better than a W126
@@detonater1348 not as classy or defined IMHO. But that's only my opinion
I agree. W140 is the better car in every aspect, but doesn't match the timeless elegance of the W126.

Mi W140 TD.
El mejor coche que tengo y de todos los que he tenido en mi vida.
Solo lo cambiaría por el mismo W140 pero con motor V8.
Muy cierto el V8 es una maravilla no se queda en nada, yo tengo un 500 SEL del 92, el mejor auto de todos.

The last Bruno Sacco design.
That’s the W220.
That is not true at all and uninformed.

there is no air/oil suspension in the W140, only rear levelling.
Since the 68 6.3, DBAG has been using the Citroen type system
The best, or nothing
W126! 🥰
W140 ❤

Raal motor car.
The only one with asymmetrically placed middle airvents. Not that good looking.
Yup. An accommodation necessitated by a 5- nacelle instrument cluster.
