I have always liked the S600. I was in the market for 1999 S600. Couldn't find one . So settled for 1995 S 500. No regrets. The car is truly heavy. True German vehicle. One drive and you will fall in love with this car. Not like the W220 S65 that I had before. It was cheaply made. W140 are made to last and makes an lasting impression wherever you go. S600 is much more heavier and cost a bit more for repairs I guess. If it's well maintained with a clear history you shouldn't have a problem.

Congratulations on your S500, looks in pretty good shape. Have you tried to fix the antenna?

What chassis did the 18's come off of? I'd like to know the offset and if they are a staggered set, they look great whilst still allowing you to have some what meaty tires for a decent ride, I like it.

Very nice car! I couldn't agree with you more that the w220 is "cheaply made". Most of them around here are selling for less than a W140 as lot of them are rusted out and have suspension issues. The W126 and W140 are the last of the real Mercedes land yachts.
