Thanks for your help - found the forum just after I posted the inquiry.

I'm specifically looking for other member's experience's with the car, especially as it relates to the wiring harness.
Thanks again!

If you don't get a satisfactory reply there for that topic, try one of the tech forums:

I have a 95 S500 coupe, and I have not aware of any wiring harness problem in my car so far. The following items had gone bad and replaced or repaired under warrantee.

Driver seat control unit. (underneath the seat) retired at 32K miles

Steering wheel master pump gone south at 37K miles, making a lot of noise when turning.

A/C pressure hose has a leak and replaced at around the same time as the steering pump.

The phone armrest latch broke and repaired.

And so far I cannot remember any more serious issues other than the abovementioned. All in all I am very happy with the car. I sat in the newer CL and it has more gadgets but not overall more comfortable than the W140 C.
