1996 AMG Mercedes S600 Coupe
W140
I am 43 years young, and own a Black with Tan interior, 96 S600 AMG Coupe. It has 20 inch chrome wheels, and a nice flip out head unit. The automobile rides great, but may need to address rear suspension issues. Anyone ever have any work done on the type of cars suspension? I have noticed that not a lot of people in this form actually own a W140, especially not a coupe.
If does have this car, I would like to touch base to compare car issues.
Thanks;

Turned 40, today in fact. Bought my first Mercedez, a 96 S420 in December of last year. Can't believe I waited so long.
Don't think I'll ever be without a Benz in the stable.

I'm 55, have a '97 S500, bought it from a nephew who is 39, when his wife inherited an '86 560SEL with 35,000 miles on it.
I love the S500, except I have to replace the catalytic converters, not looking forward to the repair bill.

1997 W140 Chassis S500 Sedan
41yo and first Benz
Just picked up my first Benz (97 S500 Sedan w/ 74k) about a month ago. I've always been a fan of larger luxury cars, mostly Lincolns, but I got a heck of a deal on this MB and couldn't turn it down. So far, so good.

Ah time has been tough on it, but the rusting part it does quite well.
