Advise in this W140

Hi all,
I know this is not E55K but I am considering this car as my collection car.
I always liked the W140 classic.

Its a 96 with 141K miles, the guy says new tires and breaks about 2k miles ago. Here is the link from Craiglist. My concern is, he only own it for 4 months and reason to sell "financial problem"
The selling price is $4450 and I talked him down to $4000 before see the car.

According to him, he put the 19" new black rims and tires + smoke tail light + Xeon light. Its custom 2 tone interior leather. If anybody has Carfax available pls let me know if this car is clean.

Just pay the money for a Carfax account. Anyone that runs it for you is violating the Terms of Service and, frankly, stealing.

That was helpful, no need to know the carfax, at least some advises or comments.

As long as you are fully aware of the service bills attached to owning a used S-Class, go for it.
