Smile Newbie To The Forum S600 Fan and MB Noob

Hello Mates, I am a long time member at the toyota nation forum for my current 2005 camry. however, i want to sell my car and for some strange reason i am in love with the idea of a S500 or S600 either w140 or w220. i am totally new to MB used cars, and my budget is approx 10K to not more than 13K for used car. in the above mentioned models field which benz should i buy as a used car sedan for that price range? max miles can i get for that price?

there is a dealer selling 2001 S600 with 90K miles for $10,595.00, black/black, pics look mint, but will see the car on saturday, what should i look for? is that the right price for 90K miles?

thanks for feedback
Rico

look at coolant,for oil leaks,trans leaks,Belt,AC operation,heat,all interior things.Test drive stomp the pedal to make sure no hesistation.Brake hard to see if she pulls to one side.V12s are beautiful engines enjoy your 12 cylinders.

Wrong forum, you want the W220 forum. The W140 is only through 1999.

Well, here we think the W140 is a vastly superior car to the W220, but we might be biased. They are a great deal at the right price and condition, a bad deal if not. A poorly maintained one will suck your walley dry.
