W140: Practical daily driver?

Is an excellent-condition, low-mile (say, under 80k), W140 a practical choice for a daily driver?

I have a 96 S600 that I use as a daily driver. The key to enjoying these cars is keeping up with the maintenance. When I got mine about two years ago it only had 52K on it. I rebaselined all the fluids. Its got a few minor glitches that keep me lurking on these boards to fix (basic stuff like closing assist, PSE pump) but I find that stuff fun. These cars are so well made, people cannot believe that my car is 16 yrs old.
