As an owner of a 96' S500 that I've driven 225k+ miles, this is a respectable video. Highlighting the plastic vs metal cam oilers is spot on and about the only thing an M119 engine will ask you for. That is a unique spec with the leather and reclining rear seats without being an S600 or Grand Edition. The long wheel base W140 is sooo nice to cruise in.
The middle seat belt is under that seat cushion, you have to snug your hand in to take it out or to lift the whole seat cushion and then you have it out😁
@@jetlagheroes7860 That's great some one I spoke with this morning trying to sell me one for 2,000 with bad battery,bad tires,and it's running hot.Its a 1997 s500.
The differences between a W223 owner and a W140 owner :- W223 owner : " If you scratch my car i'm gonna sue your ass "' W140 owner : '' If you scratch my car.......... i don't car who you are........as far as anyone concerned........ your missing ''
I have replaced these CamShaft oiler tubes, but still have that knocking noise from them, I don’t know if I have put bad o-rings on them or that timing chain guides have to be replaced as well
Mercedes Benz the best or nothing!

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words! "El Presidente" will be missed, but I'm glad that it has gone to be with another W140 enthusiast.
O love this car, it is literally the best car ever made, from all the aspects 💯
Great information. Love the car. Those oil tubes can be a pain. Been there.
Sure is a nice ride!
These seats was only for w140 s600, but like you mentioned, different markets have different standards and extra options 💯
Awesome car thanks for sharing
Nice video, I have a W140 500SEL 1992 and I love it, greeting from Ecuador.
And yeah, that stitching was also extra option 💯

What a gorgeous car. It’s been well taken care of.
Yes, a special car! It's off to a new home as of this evening. Hopefully will remain in such nice shape!
@@jetlagheroes7860 Curious.How much did you pay for it?
@@candygreen1831 I think I paid $1,800 for it with transmission problems back in 2015.

Beautiful car! Just got done with spark plugs, etc. but transmission looking like a nightmare. Wouldn’t trade it for anything 😎
Nice car!!! The best thing ist the full leather interior. The headliner is real alcantara
How quite is the car on the inside?
Very quiet inside!
Early models has it belt for third passenger on the back seat on middle🎰

Are you still looking to sell the car? I have a sparkling silver metallic 1998 s500 and would like to have a bookend.
Already moved on to a new home. Thanks for watching!
are you sure that car didn't start off in japan?? i see the little chip thing for japanese toll roads in passenger footwell
I'm pretty sure it was a Canadian car as all the documentation and instruction in the car was in English and French.
Por 1.800€ puede comprar el que tengo yo parado... Con ese motor 5000 v8
Then by engineers but now by markerters
This car suitable for your size
